Former Kipipiri Member of Parliament (MP) Amos Kimunya on Tuesday, January 30, announced the death of his wife Lucy Kimunya. 

In a statement posted on his X account, the former Kipipiri MP stated that his wife died while undergoing treatment at Nairobi Hospital.

“It is with deep sorrow and humble acceptance of God’s will that I wish to announce that this Tuesday at 3:00 am my dear wife Lucy went to be with the Lord while receiving care at Nairobi Hospital,” Kimunya stated.

According to Kimunya, his wife was a key pillar in both his personal and political life.

He added that the late Lucy contributed immensely to making the society greener through various initiatives and support of the youth and women. 

“Go well our dear Lucy, we will miss you dearly,” Kimunya noted.

Kimunya added that more details about burial arrangements will be communicated later. 

The former Kipipiri MP served as Minister under President Mwai Kibaki’ government.

He was appointed Minister of Lands in 2002 before he was transferred to the Finance Ministry in 2006 after the resignation of David Mwiraria. 

Kimunya resigned from Cabinet in July 2008 but was reappointed by Mwai Kibaki to the Trade Ministry five months later.

The former Kipipiri MP served as National Assembly Majority Leader following the ouster of Aden Duale during President Uhuru Kenyatta’s regime.
