The brother of Janet Wanja, the departed former Malkia Strikers player, has profusely thanked the Kenya Pipeline company for supporting them. When was Janet Wanja diagnosed with cancer? Wanja was diagnosed with gallbladder cancer in August 2024, and the family grappled with her bills until they had to ask for help. Initially, there was a paybill to help with the medical bills, but the Kenya Pipeline company stepped in and took care of all the bills.
“The family of Janet Wanja would like to announce her passing on after a brave battle with gallbladder cancer,” said Kervin Kimani.”Our sincere and deepest gratitude goes out to Kenya Pipeline company for walking the journey with us from the beginning and tirelessly providing all she needed in terms of medical support,” he added. Kimani also thanked the Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF), National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) and Football Kenya Federation (FKF).
“Further updates will be provided in due course,” said the grieving brother. Kenyans react to the story Nyamamu Isaiah: “My condolences bro…may she rest in peace, its a tragedy in the sporting fraternity. First Otuoma and now Wanja.” Fakhir Harriet: “Eeei … pole sana may she rest in peace.” Bonitez Munyendo: “Heartfelt condolences to the family and friends…take heart bro.”
