Suleiman Kasuti Murunga, former Member of Parliament for Kimilili Constituency, a distinguished statesman and a patriot. The Hon. Suleiman Murunga passed away at the age of 75 on Wednesday, 30th October 2024 after a short illness at the MP Shah Hospital, Nairobi, where he was undergoing treatment. His death is a profound loss to his family, friends and community, which he served with unwavering commitment and dedication. The late Hon. Suleiman Murunga was born on 20th September 1949. He began his early education at Lutonyi Primary School and later moved to Pumwani Secondary School, where he sat for his Kenya National Certificate of Education exams. The late Hon. Suleiman Murunga worked with many organisations, including the Barclays Bank, the Bank of Commerce and Industry, Kaplan & Stratton, the Trademark Bank, and the Giro Commercial Bank.
