The Senate Standing Committee on Energy has paid their respects to Senator Boni Khalwale following the sudden passing of his wife, Gloria Sekeiyan Khalwale. The committee, headed by its Chairperson Elgeyo-Marakwet Senator William Kisang, paid a visit to Khalwale at his residence in Ikolomani Constituency on Tuesday, August 18, 2026.

The delegation expressed their sympathy to Khalwale, a committee member, as he grieves the loss of his wife who passed away from a heart attack on Saturday, August 15, 2026. Kisang encouraged Khalwale to give thanks to God for the years he shared with his late wife and the blessings they enjoyed together. He advised, "Just thank God for the years he gave you with her and blessings he bestowed upon you.

There is nothing you can do about it now." The committee's Vice Chairperson, nominated Senator Beatrice Ogolla, echoed similar sentiments, citing the nation's shock at Gloria's unexpected death. She assured Khalwale and his family of the committee's unwavering support during this trying time. Turkana Senator James Lomenen also expressed condolences on behalf of the people of Turkana, urging Khalwale to seek God's abundant grace.

Gloria's funeral is scheduled for Friday, August 21, 2026, at their family home in Malinya, Ikolomani Constituency.
