“I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend and elder, Hon. Dr. Enock Wamalwa Kibunguchy, the former Member of Parliament for Likuyani Constituency. Receiving this news has left a heavy weight on my heart, as I mourn not just a leader, but a man I knew personally and shared many moments of reflection and guidance with.

“Dr. Kibunguchy was born on 20th August 1953 and passed on peacefully at an Eldoret hospital after a prolonged illness. His departure marks the end of a life devoted selflessly to service and the upliftment of his people,” said Nabwera.
