Kenyans are wishing death upon former Mt Elgon MP John Serut who is battling chronic cancer which has drained family resources forcing them to appeal for financial help.
Michelle Serut – daughter to former Mt Elgon Member – took to Twitter on October 12th 2021 to sent out an urgent medical appeal for her ailing father.
In her appeal, Michelle mentioned that her father was diagnosed with multiple myeloma – a type of blood cancer – in January of 2020.
She stated that his hospital bill has so far accumulated to Ksh20 million and that the family has exhausted all means to raise the money.
“Hey guys, so a lot of you don’t know me but I’m here requesting your help today. My father’s name is John Serut and he’s been unwell for a while now. He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in January of 2020. Since then, we’ve had medical bills totaling to about Sh20 Million.
“Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that affects multiple organs e.g., the kidneys, bones and liver. So far, we’ve handled this as a family but we’re now reaching out to you for help.
“Our most recent bill was slightly over five million and we need the amount on top to cater for an insurance cover as we have exhausted the existing one due to bills amounting to 14 million this year alone,” Michelle Serut tweeted.

However, the medical appeal was met with fierce criticisms by large section of Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) who unmasked John Serut’s dark past.
The former Mt Elgon MP was accused of being part of the Sabaot Land Defence Force (SLDF) Janjawit and Moorland – militia groups that used to terrorize residents in Mt Elgon region.
