Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 65777, member: 636"] President William Ruto joined Kenyans in mourning Sammy Lui Wang’ondu, a veteran broadcaster and former Director of State Functions, who died on Thursday, October 23, at his home in Subukia, Nakuru County. His son Chris Wang’ondu confirmed the death. The cause has not been shared. Lui’s deep, calm voice marked national events for decades. He served as State Master of Ceremonies and worked with presidents from Moi to Kenyatta. He began at the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, then known as the Voice of Kenya, and later joined the Office of the President. Ruto called him a pioneer journalist and a respected voice of the nation. Colleagues remember him as a perfectionist who mentored many young broadcasters. Despite his fame, he stayed humble and private. Funeral plans will come soon. [/QUOTE]
