Former Kisumu Town West Member of Parliament, Kenn Nyagudi, has passed away while receiving treatment at Kenyatta National Hospital. Nyagudi, who served as the constituency’s legislator from 2004, succumbed on Sunday night, leaving behind a legacy of dedicated public service.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula led the nation in mourning the late MP, expressing his deep sympathies to Nyagudi’s family and friends. “I was privileged to have interacted with him when I was the Foreign Affairs Minister. May his family be consoled and find comfort in the Lord’s arms. May his soul rest in peace,” Wetangula stated.
Nyagudi rose to prominence in 2004 when he was elected as Kisumu Town West MP, following the passing of Joab Omino. His tenure in Parliament was marked by a commitment to development and advocacy for the welfare of his constituents. He played a significant role in legislative discussions and championed various causes aimed at improving the lives of the people he represented.
His passing has been met with an outpouring of condolences from political leaders and the public. Many remember him as a passionate leader who fought for social justice and the advancement of Kisumu Town West. His contributions to politics and community development will be remembered as part of his enduring legacy.
As Kenyans mourn his loss, tributes continue to pour in from colleagues, friends, and those whose lives he touched through his leadership. Nyagudi’s impact on the political landscape, especially in Kisumu, remains evident, and his passing marks the end of an era for those who worked alongside him.
The family is expected to announce funeral arrangements in the coming days, as messages of support continue to reach them from across the country. Leaders from various political divides have also called for unity in celebrating Nyagudi’s life and contributions to the nation.
May his soul rest in peace.
