Malava Member of Parliament (MP) Malulu Injendi has passed away after a prolonged illness.
The legislator, who had been undergoing treatment at the Aga Khan Hospital, breathed his last while receiving medical care.
His demise was confirmed by his family, who had recently disclosed that he was in critical condition.
Injendi’s passing marks a significant loss for his constituents and the wider political landscape in Kenya.
He had served as Malava’s representative with dedication, advocating for policies aimed at improving the welfare of his people.
His political journey was characterized by efforts to enhance education, infrastructure, and economic opportunities within his constituency.
His death comes just a day after the passing of Baringo Senator William Cheptumo, adding to the string of recent losses within Kenya’s political fraternity.
The near-simultaneous passing of the two leaders has sent shockwaves through the nation, prompting messages of condolence from political leaders, colleagues, and constituents alike.
Injendi’s tenure in Parliament was marked by his vocal stance on various legislative matters, particularly those affecting his western Kenya constituency.
He was known for his firm advocacy on matters of education, healthcare, and rural development, consistently pushing for policies aimed at uplifting the living standards of his electorate.
As the nation mourns, tributes continue to pour in from colleagues and leaders across the political divide, highlighting his contributions to governance and public service.
The government is expected to announce funeral arrangements in coordination with his family in the coming days.
Injendi’s passing leaves a significant gap in Malava’s political leadership, and the constituency will soon face a by-election to fill his seat.
His legacy, however, will be remembered through his years of service and dedication to the people he represented.
