He said, the aspiring senator had been involved in a road accident and was admitted to Kenyatta University hospital in a critical condition.
"Dear Steve Chege I have never met you. But I see your energy and passion on this platform. I celebrate all you do as a young Kenyan. Our country is better because of your voice. I have learned you are in hospital. I am sorry for the accident. I pray you to get out soon. This country needs you, Sir. Win my brother. Win," Nyoro wrote.
"Our brother urgently needs blood. Hon. Steve Chege Senator Laikipia County. is admitted at Kenyatta University Referral Hospital, and needs blood donations. All blood types are welcome to donate.
