County Government Of Kiambu

Tribute To Hon. Odhiambo Cyrus Omondi (Gearbox)

It is a sad moment for the people and the Government of Kiambu County following the loss of Hon. Odhiambo Cyrus Omondi who passed on while on official duty in Mumbai, India.

Until his demise, Hon. Omondi was the Member of County Assembly for Kahawa Wendani Ward in Ruiru Sub-County. Hon. Omondi was a dedicated, determined and a visionary Member of the County Assembly, who valued development and the wellbeing of the people of Kahawa Wendani and Kiambu County at large. Hon. Omondi was the Chairperson of the Education, Science and Research Committee in the County Assembly. He passionately advocated for quality education for Kiambu residents, particularly for the less privileged. He always lobbied for adequate allocation and efficient utilization of funds for bursary and education sponsorship by the County Government. He was a champion on matters of cohesion, integration and continuously urged leaders to embrace all people regardless of their tribe or status.

On behalf of the County Government and the great people of Kiambu, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family, relatives, friends and residents of Kahawa Wendani Ward.

May the Almighty God rest his soul in eternal peace.

H.E. James K. Nyoro Governor County Government of Kiambu.
