The former MP’s death was confirmed by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Monday, April 7, recalling her personal journey and dedication to public service.

“I have learnt the passing on of Janet Marania Teyiaa with great shock. I served with Janet in the 12th Parliament when she represented the people of Kajiado County as a woman Representative.

“Janet, as a young girl, saved by a social worker due to her disability in her childhood days, brimmed with the epitome of resilience and a great spirit that nothing can stop a great soul from realizing their dreams, especially the people who are abled differently,” he said.

Gachagua also highlighted Marania’s tenure as a Woman Representative, noting that she became a strong voice for the marginalized.

He also stated that her work focused on inclusion and empowerment, leaving a lasting legacy within the communities she served.

“Her contribution in Kajiado County on what hails our communities speaks volumes on her resolve, especially speaking and advocating for the people living with disabilities will remain in our hearts as a people.

“She has left a big gap in our Nation. My deepest sympathies to her immediate family, to the people of Kajiado County, and the people of Kenya. May her soul rest in eternal peace and perpetual light shine upon her forever,” he added.

Before joining politics, Marania worked as an adult education teacher.

In 2013, she was nominated by The National Alliance (TNA) to the National Assembly to represent persons with disabilities and served on the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. 

In 2017, Marania was elected as the Woman Representative for Kajiado County under the Jubilee Party.

She served until 2022 when she was succeeded by Leah Sankaire Sopiato of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
