The Late, was the first and incumbent Governor of the County Government of Nyamira.The Council of Governors has not only lost a great leader, but a focused, action-oriented man who served the people of Nyamira with diligence and love. He was humble and a stickler to administrative order. This was demonstrated during his first tenure where he served in the Education Committee having been a trained, qualified and experienced teacher. We will also miss his wise counsel in the Agriculture Committee where he was a member who was passionate about Tea farming having been a tea farmer himself and previously served in various Tea production and regulatory institutions.On behalf of the Council of Governors I convey our deepest condolences and sympathies to his wife, children, siblings and family and the Nyamira constituents for this great loss. May our prayers serve as comfort for you and your loved ones at this trying time.SignedH.E. Hon.
