Chris Msando’s Mother is Dead

Slain Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ICT manager Chris Msando’s mother, Maria Msando, has died. 

Her demise was announced by Siaya Governor James Orengo, who sent his condolences to the family. 

“My heartfelt condolences to the family, friends and relatives of the late IEBC ICT Manager Chris Msando for the passing on of their family matriarch Mama Maria Msando. 

“Mama had a magnetic personality and ability to care deeply for others that allowed her to cultivate many lasting relationships. May her soul Rest in Eternal Peace,” Orengo eulogised.

The announcement deals a big blow to Msando’s family, who lost the former ICT manager who was found dead days before the 2017 elections.

Her eldest son, Peter Msando, who spoke to the press, revealed that she died due to multiple organ failure, adding that she had been hospitalised over high blood pressure and sugar problem.

He stated that his mother went into a coma on Thursday and was rushed to Avenue Hospital in Kisumu at around 1:00 pm. Thereafter, she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) but passed away on Friday morning.
