Speaking on Wednesday during Keen's requiem mass, Karua recounted her time with him when she moved from Ford Asili to DP which was led by former President Mwai Kibaki then.

“Keen was my mentor. Our political thinking rhymed and our relationship moved from being a mentor and apprentice to that of colleagues. He has left a mark and legacy that all of us should emulate,” Karua recalled.

John Keen, who is born to a German father and a Maasai mother died on Christmas Day, at the Aga Khan Hospital aged 90. 

He will be laid to rest on Friday at his Namanga home.
