Parliament begins burial plans for Ol Kalou MP Kiaraho after death
Parliament has moved swiftly to organise the burial of Ol Kalou MP David Njuguna Kiaraho, who died on Sunday morning while undergoing treatment at a Nairobi hospital after a period of illness.
A team of lawmakers on Sunday visited the late legislator’s home in Runda, Nairobi. They condoled with the family and held the first meeting to coordinate funeral arrangements.
In a formal communication, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula described Mr Kiaraho as a diligent and committed leader.
“To the family of the late legislator and to all Kenyans, we thank God for the life He gave Hon. Kiaraho. We mourn the departed soul,” said Mr Wetang’ula.
The Speaker also announced the formation of a Funeral Preparation Committee to liaise with the family and organise a befitting send-off.
The committee will be chaired by Kinangop MP Mr Kwenya Thuku and deputised by Nyandarua MP Ms Faith Gitau, alongside seven other Members of Parliament.
Mr Thuku, Ms Gitau, Wajir East MP Mr Aden Daudi and Kiambaa MP Mr John Wanjiku were among those who visited the family home, accompanied by parliamentary staff led by Clerk of the National Assembly Mr Samuel Njoroge.
The late Mr Kiaraho was serving his third term as MP for Ol Kalou Constituency, having first been elected in 2013.
He served in the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure and the Procedure and House Rules Committee.
Born on October 2, 1963, Mr Kiaraho attended Alliance High School and later Nairobi School before joining the University of Nairobi, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture.
Before entering politics, he worked as a professional architect and served as Principal Architect at Archgrid Systems.
Further details regarding memorial and burial arrangements are expected to be communicated in due course.
