Deputy Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 259D (2) (a) with profound sorrow to report the untimely passing on of the former Member of Parliament for Kiambaa Constituency, Hon. Stanley Munga Githunguri, on Wednesday 30th November 2022 while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Nairobi. The late Hon. Stanley Munga Githunguri was born on 17th February 1945 in Kamwanga, Rukwa District, Tanzania. He attended Gacharage Primary School from 1954 to 1957 and Karura Intermediate School from 1958 to 1961. He thereafter joined St. Mary’s Mission High School in Alaska in the United States of America. Hon. Githunguri studied Political Science and Economics at the Yampa Valley College in Steamboat, Colorado and the Emporia State College in Emporia, Kansas, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and Political Science in 1967. Hon. Githunguri began his career as an Administrative Officer in the Office of the President in the then Eastern Province in mid-1967. He was later posted as District Officer in Meru, Chuka, Isiolo, Coast and later in Tana River. Hon. Githunguri joined the National Bank of Kenya in 1969, where he rose through the ranks to Executive Chairman of the Bank. He later went into private business and was a skilled entrepreneur with an eye for diverse business opportunities. His most notable business is the Lillian Towers located in the Nairobi Central Business District. Hon. Githunguri joined politics in 1997 where he vied for the Kiambaa parliamentary seat but lost. In 2007, Hon. Githunguri vied again and was elected to represent Kiambaa Constituency, where he served his term diligently; and, most notably, through the Constituency Development Fund. In 2013, Hon. Githunguri retired from politics after he unsuccessfully vied for the Senatorial seat in Kiambu County. The late Hon. Githunguri was an astute civil servant, a respected family man, an admirable politician, a successful businessman and a mentor to many. He is survived by his six children and 10 grandchildren. On my own behalf and that of my family and the people of Kiambaa Constituency, I wish to take this opportunity to condole with the family of the late Hon. Stanley Githunguri, the people of Kiambu County at large, all his relatives and friends and Kenyans at this difficult time.
