He died in a Nairobi hospital where he had been admitted after his condition worsened on Tuesday, a family spokesperson confirmed.

Family and friends gathered at his Runda home following the news of his death.

Allan Kiuna had been battling multiple myeloma cancer since his diagnosis in 2018/2019. Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer characterized by abnormal plasma cells accumulating in the bone marrow, forming tumors in various bones throughout the body.

In 2019, Bishop Allan Kiuna publicly shared his struggle with cancer, expressing his gratitude to God for helping him endure the difficult journey.

Jubilee Christian Church was established in January 1999 by Bishop Kiuna and his wife, Reverend Kathy, who envisioned creating a vibrant faith community. His legacy continues through the lives he touched and the church he helped build.
