Former President Mwai Kibaki has mourned the former Cabinet Minister Eliud Mwamunga.
According to Kibaki, Mwamunga's legacy is worth emulating.
In a statement released on Saturday, Kibaki said that he shared memorable times with the deceased who was 83.
"I learned of [his] passing with both sadness and a sense of personal loss. Eliud and I shared memorable times in the service to the public during the heady days of Kenya ’s young nationhood. Later, he became a compatriot in the political arena and indeed an ally who played a significant role in my political journey," Kibaki said.
He said that the former Voi MP was a strong-willed man of action who was driven by an unmistakable set of public-spirited values.
The deceased served as Voi MP for 20 consecutive years - between 1969 and 1988 and he served in both founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta's and his successor Daniel arap Moi's cabinets.
