Nominated Senator Beth Mugo has lost her husband Nicholas Muratha Mugo who has been undergoing treatment for a while.
In a statement, the MP said that her husband was born on March 5, 1936.
She said his remains will be interred on Friday in an undisclosed location.
“There will be a private interment tomorrow, Friday the 4th February 2022. The date of his memorial service will be announced later” she said.
The senator said her husband died on Thursday morning at Nairobi hospital where he was hospitalized.
“It is with profound sadness and sorrow that I wish to announce the death of my husband, Amb. Nicholas Mugo, that happened early this morning at the Nairobi Hospital after a long illness,” she said in a statement.
