Wycliffe Alumasa, the nurse who was a stickler for Ministry of Health safety guidelines on curbing the spread of coronavirus, has died.
Alumasa was a nurse at the Kakamega County General Hospital and will be remembered for enforcing the mandatory mask rule in Kakamega town before reporting to his workstation.
Usually, the uncompromising nurse would confront people without masks and demand they wear one. Often, he would summon police officers to assist him whenever he encountered challenges in enforcing the rule.
But in a cruel twist of fate, Alumasa succumbed to Covid-19 on Tuesday. News of his death spread like wildfire across the county.
