On my behalf and that of the people of Kanduyi and the larger Bungoma County, I convey our condolence message to the family and friends of the late Hon. Simon Nyachae. Besides being a dedicated career civil servant, Hon. Simon Nyachae left a mark in this country’s leadership. I had the privilege of serving with him both in the Civil Service and this arena. He also led one of the offshoots of FORD (K) party which is the FORD-People Party, as he vied for presidency of this country. We lost him at a time when we are struggling to strengthen our democracy in the country with our FORD (K) party counterparts in this country. I would like to send my message of condolences to the family, friends and the people of Gusii. I pray that God gives them strength at this time. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you."}
