Laboso had left the country on May 29 for the United Kingdom (Royal Madden NHS hospital) where she stayed before being transferred for further treatment in India.

She had been put on full bed rest and the county office had said the number of people visiting her at Nairobi Hospital was restricted to allow her enough rest.

During the days she was out of the country, Deputy Governor Hillary Barchok  had been running the county's affairs with the assistance of County Secretary Evalyne Rono.
