The sad news was confirmed on Thursday through condolence messages shared by colleagues, friends, and political leaders who expressed solidarity with the family during the difficult moment.
Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi was among the first leaders to publicly send his sympathies.
In his heartfelt message, Sudi wrote, “My heartfelt condolences to the family of Hon. Kimani Ichung’wa, Leader of Majority, on the passing of your beloved father, Mzee Isaac Ichung’wah Ngugi.
He added, May God grant you peace, comfort, and strength during this difficult time. May his memory be a blessing to you and your family.”
The passing of Mzee Ngugi has drawn messages of comfort from across the political divide, with many recognizing him as a pillar in Ichung’wah’s life and a source of guidance and inspiration.
Close allies described the late Ngugi as a man who instilled discipline and resilience in his children, values that have shaped Ichung’wah’s political and personal journey.
Leaders noted that his departure leaves a significant void not only in the family but also in the community where he was respected.
Kimani Ichung’wah, who has been at the center of parliamentary leadership, has yet to issue a personal statement on the loss, but those close to him indicated that funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course.
The tragic event comes at a time when Ichung’wah has been playing a central role in national debates, and many leaders have assured him of their prayers and support during this painful period.
