Nairobi, Kenya – Ol Kalou Member of Parliament David Njuguna Kiaraho has died while undergoing treatment at The Nairobi Hospital.
Moses Wetangula confirmed the legislator’s death in a statement issued on Sunday morning, indicating that he passed away at around 1:20 a.m.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the untimely passing of Hon. David Njuguna Kiaraho. He was a dedicated servant of the people of Ol Kalou and a distinguished member of this House,” Wetangula said.
