Deputy President William Ruto has expressed his condolences to the family of Anthony Kariuki, a former staff member who died in an accident on Outering Road on Friday last week.
Speaking during the funeral service at PCEA, Ngundu Church in Kamulu, Machakos County, Dr Ruto described Mr Kariuki as a man with a tremendous sense of placid disposition, intellect, and a positive attitude.
“In any assignment he was involved, you knew it would turn out to be better. He made priceless contributions to my Office,” said Dr Ruto, adding: “He was inimitable.”
Dr Ruto was accompanied by Meru Senator Mithika Linturi, Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua, and his Buuri counterpart Mugambi Rindikiri.
Mr Kariuki, 40, was married to Christine Wakio and had two children, Darren Macharia and Deina Nyambura.
