GRIEF STRIKES KIPCHUMBA MURKOMEN AS HE LOSES LOVED ONE

Kipchumba Murkomen is mourning his grandmother who passed on aged almost 100 years.

Celebrating her on Twitter the senator wrote,

“Our dear grandma,Gladys Gathoni Gathenya has gone home to heaven. After nearly a 100 years of service to God&humanity,she has taken a rest. My wife was named after her&for that reason she called me her husband.She was such a close friend of my wife&extended the same to my family.

She lived through Great Depression, colonialism,2nd World War,Mau Mau uprising&the fight for independence.She saw Kenya through the Presidency of Mzee Kenyatta,Moi,Kibaki&almost completed the Jubillee administration.She was a very strong willed woman who suffered no fools gladly.

She didn’t quite like taking pictures,but I always got away with it.I would even do videos &selfies with her. She was in love with her great grandchildren&knew them by name. Thank you for everything. We will miss you dearly. Fare thee well cũcũ.”
