Where is Overland Park Regional Medical Center?
In a video shared by Obuyu Onalo, Mboya is seen relatively clean but ailing and slurring his speech. At one point, he broke down while speaking of his predicament, his health condition and losing everything.

“I am Tom Mboya’s youngest son. I lost everything; I was at Overland Park Regional Medical Center for six months because my liver failed,” he said.
The hospital is in Kansas, USA, and when he was discharged, he had nowhere else to go. A Good Samaritan offered him some money so he could stay in a motel.
“I don’t even have a phone with me. It was turned off because I couldn’t make the payments,” he said tearfully.
CLARIFICATION
After consulting with the two Mboya families, I can clarify that George Jerry Mboya (Kobi) committed Asusi on a tree in a park in the USA last week.
He suffered from depression in the USA. He was cremated yesterday at the request of the family. He was not Tom Mboya’s son (Mboya ma or Kidero Mboya ma Mboya).

“A full life, a life of peace, a gentle spirit and one of the best. Now resting deep in peaceful earth. Lots of memories to be cherished forever,” he read elsewhere in the post.
