In a show of unity and respect, Rachel Ruto on Thursday led a delegation of national leaders in mourning the late David Njuguna Kiaraho, following a condolence visit to his family home in Runda.
The First Lady, accompanied by Kwenya Thuku, described the late former Ol Kalou MP as a selfless leader whose impact will be felt for generations.
“In this difficult moment, we stand with you in prayer and solidarity, trusting that God will grant you comfort, strength and peace,” she said.
She added that Kiaraho’s unwavering dedication to his constituents and public service leaves behind a legacy worth celebrating.
“Hon. Kiaraho’s commitment to his people will be remembered with deep respect. May his soul rest in eternal peace.”
