On Friday, Deputy President William Ruto attended the funeral service of his staff member Anthony Kariuki at PCEA, Ngundu Church in Kamulu, Machakos County, where he paid tribute to the late Anthony Kariuki.
Published on October 4, 2019, Dr. Ruto described Anthony Kariuki as a man with a tremendous sense of placid disposition, intellect, and a full of positive attitude.
"In any assignment he (Anthony) 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."
Anthony Kariuki, 40, was a valued and professional worker who was the Deputy Director of Communications at the Office of the Deputy President until his demise. He died in an accident on Outering Road last week.
