On behalf of the people of Mumias East, and on behalf of my family, I would like to convey my heartfelt condolences to the family of the late former President. I knew him as a person who had a very good heart. The spirit of Harambee was enhanced by the former President. I remember when I was in Form One in 1977; he came to Mumias to raise funds for three schools: Lubinu Secondary School, Muslim Secondary School, and Matungu Secondary School. This enhanced construction of many secondary schools. We now have NG-CDF and people may not know how important Harambees were. I pray to God that he keeps his soul in Eternal Peace."}
