Many have been left in shock, wondering what might have led the former MCA, known locally as ‘Surveyor,’ to allegedly take his own life.
The Kericho incident occurred just days after Lamu Deputy Governor Raphael Munyua Ndung’u passed away from illness.
Munyua was elected Deputy Governor of Lamu alongside Governor Issa Timamy on a joint Amani National Congress (ANC) ticket.
Governor Issa Timamy, in his tribute, described Munyua as not just a colleague but also a close friend, brother, and devoted public servant.
To Munyua’s wife, Stella Tayo Ndung’u, their children, family, friends, and all who knew him, we extend heartfelt condolences from myself, my family, the County Government of Lamu, and the people of Lamu.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this challenging time.”
