CYRUS JIRONGO

“I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend, former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo.

Jirongo was a relentless go-getter, a seasoned businessman, and a consummate politician who refused to be defined, let alone defeated, by life’s challenges.

He was a fighter in every sense: blunt yet warm, bold yet approachable, enlightened and endlessly entrepreneurial.

Above all, he was generous to a fault; always willing to give, to uplift, and to back others with his time, resources, and belief.

Never one to shrink from a tough stand or a grand idea, he lived on his own terms and left an indelible mark on our political landscape.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

Rest in peace, my friend

President William Ruto.
