Mr Makau, a former headteacher of Kasaini Primary School in Mutituni location, died in October last year after an operation at Mater Hospital. Before his admission to Mater, he was referred from a Machakos hospital to Kenyatta National Hospital in June after he was diagnosed with a heart problem. “At Kenyatta Hospital, he could not get a cardiologist on time and was referred to Mater Hospital.
