The father to the Senate speaker Amason Kingi, Kingi Mwaruwa is dead.
Kingi senior died following a short illness yesterday.
Taking to the social media, the former Kilifi county governor praised his dad as a selfless and loving man.
“Since I attained adulthood, I don’t remember ever dancing with you, Dad. Not until the 25th of December 2024 during Christmas at Mjanaheri village when, for the very first time, we danced, danced and danced together until sunset. Your face beamed with joy. We were not just celebrating Christmas but giving thanks to the Almighty for your remarkable recovery after years of battling many ailments. I didn’t know that dance would be the first and last with you, Dad,” he wrote!
“You taught me many valuable lessons, the biggest being never to give up no matter what. It is this lesson that has pushed me this far,” he added.
President William Ruto also condoled with the Kingi family.
“Our condolences to the Speaker of the Senate for the loss of his dear father, Mzee Kingi Mwaruwa. He was respected, progressive and hardworking. Mheshimiwa Amason Kingi, the family and the people of Kilifi are in our prayers during this difficult time. Rest in Peace,” Ruto said.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula also mourned the fallen patriarch on his official X account;
“My dear brother Hon. Amason Kingi take heart. I just learnt of the sunset of family Patriarch Mzee Kingi Mwaruwa. I know and understand how difficult it is having gone through the same when our mother took her sunset recently. We shall stand together at this difficult moment. May God’s strength and blessings shower upon you and the family. May Mzee Rest in Peace.”
