Water CS Sicily Kariuki’s daughter dies in hospital

Water Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki (pictured) is mourning the death of her daughter Wendy Muthoni ‘Noni’.

Muthoni, a second-year University student pursuing law at JKUAT Karen campus died on Sunday evening at the Nairobi Hospital.

The cause of death was not immediately clear by the time of publishing.

Leaders from across the political divide led by President Uhuru have since sent in their messages of condolences to the CS, praying for her family's comfort. 

“The President wishes the family God's fortitude during this difficult period of grief and assured them of his support as they come to terms with the big loss,” State House communicated.

Deputy President William Ruto mourned Muthoni as “a determined, diligent and honest lady who will be fondly remembered for her kindness and dependability.”

No pain ever comes close to that of losing a child. None whatsoever. Mama Sicily Kariuki, please accept sincere condolences from me and Mama Ida following the passing of Wendy Muthoni. Remain strong. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
