Family and friends of the later professor Ken Walibora are mourning their loss.

Walibora's step mother Eunice Wafula is besides herself.

“My strength has gone after losing my only source of inspiration and a shoulder to lean on after the demise of my late husband,” she said amid tears.

Walibora's body was identified on Wednesday, five days after he was knocked down by a Double M matatu along Landhies Road.

He was rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital for treatment.

The driver of the Buruburu matatu is waiting to be arraigned in court.
