However, after the successful surgery, he playfully taunted cartoonists, declaring that they will no longer have the opportunity to depict that characteristic in their drawings.

“Cartoonists, you will have nothing to draw on my forehead anymore!” Sossion said playfully.

The journey to his forehead's transformation began after a morning talk show on television, where a medical doctor from Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Dr. Paul Kirui, approached him.

"One morning after a TV talk show, a Medical Dr from Kenyatta National Hospital one Dr Paul Kirui asked me to see him at KNH over a special matter. I found him with Dr Fedinand Nakole a reconstructive and Plastic Surgery Surgeon.

Wilson Sossion hails Kenyan doctors

After his successful operation, Sossion expressed his admiration for Kenyan doctors, hailing them as some of the finest in the world.

He proudly stated that the Kenyan education system has produced excellent doctors who have garnered international recognition.

In light of this, he expressed his belief that medical tourism is the next big thing in Kenya, with the country becoming a hub for quality medical procedures.

“They are the finest doctors in the world. Our education has produced the best doctors we can be proud of. Medical tourism is the next big thing in Kenya,” he said.

Sossion nominated CAS in the Ministry of Tourism

Mr. Sossion's life took another turn when he was among the 50 Cabinet Assistant Secretaries (CAS) appointed by President William Ruto earlier this year. He received the nomination for the Ministry of Tourism.

However, this appointment faced legal challenges when the High Court nullified President Ruto's appointments.

The matter is currently awaiting resolution as the Attorney General (AG) Justin Muturi filed for an appeal.
