  "summary": "Former Defence Cabinet Secretary and DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa has invited former President Uhuru Kenyatta to be the chief guest at the 23rd commemoration of his late brother, former Vice President Michael Kijana Wamalwa, in Kitale. The ceremony, which will take place at the Wamalwa family home in Milimani and launch a book documenting Michael's life and legacy, is expected to bring together political leaders from across the political divide. Wamalwa has also invited opposition leaders, including those associated with the Linda Mwananchi movement, and some government officials who were friends and acquaintances of the late Michael Wamalwa. This announcement comes after Wamalwa had invited principals of the United Opposition to the 2026 Michael Wamalwa Kijana memorial, reflecting on the formation of the National Alliance of Kenya (NAK) in 2001, which eventually led to the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) and the end of KANU's 40-year rule.",
