    "content": "Also, when he was at Vision 2030, I think he was one of the brilliant brains there. I remember when he applied for a programme at Harvard Business School. There were so many applicants but he was one of the few Kenyans who were granted an opportunity there to study economics. My heart goes to his family because he was a great man who transcended all tribes. Probably, somebody would ask what Dr. Wahome was doing in Kilifi. As you can see, he went beyond borders, political inclinations and everything else. He was a great human being and the people of Nyeri have lost a governor who would have taken their county to a greater height than any other person. Looking at this background in education, his interactions and travels, definitely, Nyeri has lost someone. If there is somebody who would really implement a vision like Vision 2030 in a county, then Governor Wahome would have done that very well. The people of Kilifi North, who I represent, send their condolences to Nyeri County, the family and the entire nation. One thing of importance that we need to note is that, as we mourn the death of this great man of Kenya and Nyeri, we need to ask ourselves the circumstances under which he lost his life. It was through a road accident. Now, road accidents have claimed many lives in this country. Those who construct our roads need to be careful. Looking at that metal bar which went into that Mercedes Benz, you wonder what that contractor was doing by leaving such an eyesore on the roadside. Motorists, people who inspect roads and those who have the responsibility of making sure that our roads are safe, good, passable and usable by everybody need to take note that this death signifies the need to be more careful when constructing roads in this country. With all that, I once again send my condolences to the family and may God rest the soul of Governor Wahome in eternal peace."
