The family of Orie Rogo-Manduli, the first Kenyan woman rally driver and a former MP, has pushed her funeral from October 2 to October 9 following her daughter's hospitalisation.
In a statement on Sunday, family spokesperson Gor Semelang'o said Rogo-Manduli's eldest daughter, Elizabeth Rogo, has been admitted to the Nairobi Hospital.
