Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 77005, member: 636"] Former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo died after his car hit a passenger bus on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway, and his family is completely wrecked over losing someone they called their rock. Relatives gathered at his home, where people were crying and trying to process how their 64-year-old family leader got taken out during what was supposed to be a holiday celebration. Family members said he was not just some politician but the person who held everyone together and helped them through everything. They asked Kenyans to stand with them while they figure out how to move forward without him. Jirongo repped Lugari in parliament from 1997 to 2002 on a Kanu ticket, then grabbed the seat again under his own party, KADDU, before losing governor and senate races later on. His last major run was the Kakamega governor contest, where he got beat by Fernandes Barasa. [/QUOTE]
