Ruto sends condolences to Tanzania’s President after husbands death

President William Ruto has expressed his condolences to Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu after the death of her husband, Hafidh Ameir Hassan. Ameir Hassan passed away on Monday morning while undergoing medical treatment. In his condolence message, President Ruto emphasized that the Tanzanian Head of State lost a lifelong companion, her children a beloved father, and her nation a distinguished son.

He conveyed these heartfelt condolences on behalf of the Kenyan government and people, as well as his own family. Vice-President of Tanzania, Deogratius Ndejembi, announced Ameir Hassan's death, attributing it to a heart condition. Funeral arrangements are currently underway in Kizimkazi, a village on Tanzania's semi-autonomous Zanzibar island.

Ameir Hassan, an agricultural academic, had a relatively low public profile. He served as Tanzania's first First Gentleman following Samia Suluhu's inauguration as President in 2021. Vice-President Ndejembi led the tributes, conveying his condolences to Samia Suluhu, Ameir Hassan's family, and friends.
