When Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama was not running the county, he turned his attention on his various farms in the county.
Nyagarama ran one of the best organic farms in the area, reaping from the small portions of land characteristic of the Gusii region where the resource is getting smaller by the day.
Nyagarama, 74, died early Friday at Nairobi Hospital where he had been admitted for two weeks. His family has confirmed.
County Secretary James Ntabo on Friday said the family is preparing to move the body to Lee Funeral Home.

Following the death of Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama, his deputy Amos Nyaribo will be sworn in as the new governor.
Nyagarama s death in Nairobi was announced Friday morning, sparking a debate over his succession- with Nyaribo being the man to inherit him, constitutionally.
But who is this man Amos Kimwomi Nyaribo?
Until his entry into elective politics, the Deputy Governor who is a Chartered Accountant with a Bachelor of Commerce degree worked in Government and non-State organizations in senior managerial positions.
Prior to the 2013 elections, Nyaribo had made up his mind vie against Nyagarama on an Amani National Congress ticket.
