Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka on Saturday delivered an emotional tribute during the burial of his younger brother, Kelvin Mwendwa Musyoka, describing him as a man of humility, dignity and quiet strength.

Speaking during the funeral service, Mr Musyoka said his brother, fondly known as Meja, related with people “with sincerity and warmth” and valued family above all else.

“Kelvin was a man of humility and quiet strength. He valued family, respected others and carried himself with dignity. He did not seek attention, yet his presence was deeply felt,” he said.

Mr Musyoka described the loss as deeply painful, noting that his brother’s life felt unfinished.

“It is especially painful to lose someone whose journey still felt unfinished. We mourn not only the man Kelvin was, but also the future we had envisioned for him,” he said.

He expressed gratitude to leaders and friends who attended the service to stand with the family during the difficult time. Among those present were Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr., Kitui Woman Representative Irene Kasalu, Kitui Central MP Makali Mulu, Mwingi North MP Paul Nzengu, Advocate Ndegwa Njiru and Apostle Musili.

The Wiper leader also addressed Kelvin’s widow, Mary Mwendwa, and their son, Fabian Mwendwa, assuring them of the family’s support.
“Mary, you have lost a husband and a partner. Fabian, you have lost a father and a guide. The void left behind is immeasurable. But as a family, we stand with you,” he said.
