Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has mourned the death of Sammy Mbova, a former permanent secretary in the Health ministry.
Kalonzo said that the death was a big blow since the deceased was a close family friend.
“In the departure of Sammy, the Wiper Democratic Movement of Kenya fraternity in particular, and Kenyans, in general, have lost a great nationalist and public servant,” said Mr Kalonzo.
“In the demise of Sammy, I have personally been dealt a big blow since he was also a great family friend,” he said.
Kalonzo said he received news of Mr Mbova’s death with great shock and sadness.
He said Mbova served the country with great dedication and commitment. Mbova also served as chairman of the Wiper Democratic Movement's National Elections Board in 2013.
“I offer my heartfelt condolences to all those who were in one way or another touched by his life,” he said.
