Robert Alai on the other hand thinks that the death might have been due to murder and not coronavirus.
The Siaya case might be MURDER not Corona. The guy works at KPA with all the scandals. Guy was involved in an accident on the way home and his car written off. Guy went to the hospital at 10am, pronounced dead at 7pm and buried at 2am. Who tested him? MURDER!!
