In a statement released via X, Gachagua expressed his grief over the loss of his firstborn sister who succumbed to death on Thursday. He painted a picture of Eunice as a mother figure who had played a crucial role in stabilizing the family dynamics post the demise of their mother, Martha Kirigo Gachagua, seven years prior. \"The late Eunice has been the mother figure in our family since the demise of our mother seven years ago,\" Gachagua noted. Condolences were extended to Eunice's children, Waithera and Murimi, along with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the wider Reriani family. Gachagua highlighted the family's gratitude for the 77 years Eunice had lived, recollecting her as a warm, happy person whose wisdom, advice, and companionship would be deeply missed.
