Death. Nothing quite as sure as it in this life -not even taxes if you're the typical Kenyan. And nothing quite as final as it either.

For those of you not in the know, the former administrator and Makadara MP has passed on while being rushed to Karen Hospital this evening. He was fighting Cancer.

Mike Sonko came out to mourn his friend but so did Kenyans on Twitter:

RIP former Mayor Dick Wathika.
