Malava MP Moses Malulu Injendi, who died Monday at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, had lost his elder brother Samuel Injendi just a day before.
Reporredly, Samuel died while undergoing treatment at the Kakamega County General Hospital on February 16.
Injendi’s death occurred just as the family was organising a fundraiser to foot his elder brother’s hospital bill.
The harambee was scheduled to take place on Wednesday February 19, ahead of his burial on Saturday.
Samuel who is 80 years old, was a retired prisons officer and had been ailing for quite some time.
Confirming the incident was Chemuche ward representative Geoffrey Sikolia, who stated that the activities which had been lined up for his funeral will proceed as earlier planned even as the family mourns the loss of his MP brother.
He described the Malava MP as a dedicated leader and a dear friend, brother, and clansman.
Region leaders have sent their condolences to the family. Trans Nzoia Senator Allan Chesang, acknowledged Malulu’s life as one dedicated to the glory of God and the welfare of others.
He said: “We give thanks for a life so well lived to God’s glory and in service to others. Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints. May the Lord comfort his family, friends, and the people he served with such devotion. Rest in peace, Malulu Injendi.”
