Nakuru County assembly speaker Joel Maina Kairu on Friday led MCAs in paying last tribute to the late Lakeview ward MCA Karanja Mburu who perished last Sunday through a road accident.
The burial service was held at ACK Naivasha before the final rest at his farm in Karate.
While condoling with friends, relatives and family, speaker Kairu eulogised the late MCA a kind person who was always jovial and friendly to people around him.
He termed the late one of the MCAs who played a major role in the legislative work by tabling a Bill and sponsoring several motions aimed at transforming the livelihoods of Nakuru residents.
It is for this reason that Speaker Kairu has vowed to ensure the Nakuru County Disaster and Emergency Management Bill which is at the second reading stage goes through the final stage and becomes law in honour of the late.
“In his honour, we will as the assembly ensure the bill goes through and becomes law so as to accomplish Karanja Mburu’s dreams,” said Speaker Kairu.
On his part, Flamingo Ward MCA Eddy Kiragu who was a close friend of the late MCA Karanja Mburu termed the late as an icon.
While paying his last tribute, Kiragu added that the late was a vibrant, focused, open-minded and energetic leader.
“He wanted a better Lakeview ward, a better county assembly, a better Nakuru and a better Kenya as a whole,” said Kiragu.
The Flamingo Ward MCA stating that the death of Karanja Mburu is a big blow to the youth in Nakuru.
He, however, was quick to note that the death of Mburu is not just an accident but several questions are left unanswered on what might have transpired.
Similar sentiments echoed by Naivasha’s Viwandani ward MCA Erick Gichuki who termed the late as an elder brother.
MCA vowing to continue ensuring that the dreams of Karanja Mburu for the people of Lakeview, Naivasha and Nakuru as a whole are achieved.
