Low blood pressure
Maureen has been in and out of Hospital for the past 2 years after being diagnosed with hypertension (low blood pressure), a condition that greatly affected her health.
Early this year singer Akothee offered to help Lady Maureen get back on her groove by paying her hospital bill and building her a house.
The Ohangla singer used to be housed by her Uncle after her mother refused to take her in because of unresolved family issues.
Lady Maureen’s mother Margaret Akinyi Onyango also confirmed that her daughter is alive.
“Lady Maureen ako hai na mzima. Amegonjeka lakini yupo Mzima. Ata sisi tumeshanga kuskia ati ameaga,” said the mother in an Audio circulating on Social media.
