Kenyans today joined the family, friends and relatives of the late Richard Kalembe Ndile, a Director for Tanathi Water Works Development Agency for a funeral service held at the Holy Family Basilica Church in Nairobi.
Kalembe who was a former Member of Parliament for Kibwezi Constituency passed away on May 30, 2021 this year after succumbing to liver complications at the Nairobi Hospital.
The mass was attended by several dignitaries, including the Wiper Democratic Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Water, Sanitation and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary, Sicily Kariuki, who delivered President Uhuru Kenyatta’s message of condolence.
President Uhuru while condoling with the family said Kalembe’s leadership prowess earned him the position of an Assistant Minister which he used diligently to serve the people of Kenya.
“It is through his hard work and dedication that he was selected to represent Kenya in the World Squatter conference in France and Mexico,” said the President.
