The body of Moses Nabibya, the national organizing secretary of Ford Kenya in Bungoma, was discovered inside a lodging in Webuye on June 30.
According to Webuye East police boss Martha Ng’etich, police arrested a 25-year-old woman who was in the company of the man.
“Hendry Walucho Kisiangani who is the manager of the resort came and recorded the statement with the police. The woman is the main suspect,” the police boss told the media.
“They spent the night in one of our rooms and at around 5am, the gentleman started complaining of rising blood pressure while inside the room with the lady,” Ng’etich said.
The woman dashed out of the room to seek help and by the time the hotel manager went to check on him, Moses had already passed away inside the room.
In the room, two pairs of Mara Moja painkillers were recovered.

Mr Nabibya has stood with the party in bad and good times and was its pillar, particularly in Kimilili. My condolences go out to his family, friends and Ford Kenya fraternity,” the Bungoma Senator mourned.
