United Opposition leaders, Martha Karua and Kalonzo Musyoka, along with DP leader Justin Muturi and former Webuye MP Musikari Kombo, arrived at the residence of the late former Vice President Wamalwa Kijana in Kitale, Kenya. Wamalwa Kijana, who served as Kenya’s eighth vice president, had passed away in 2003 after a long illness.
The leaders gathered to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of his death at the family home in Milimani. Former defense cabinet secretary Eugene Wamalwa, who had welcomed the delegation, announced that President Uhuru Kenyatta would attend the ceremony and launch a book documenting Wamalwa’s life and legacy. The commemoration, presided over by former Catholic Bishop Moses Crowley, aimed to unite political leaders from various parties and included both opposition figures from the Linda Mwananchi movement and government officials who had known Wamalwa personally.
