“Another tree has fallen. The bigger Lugari has been defeated. “We are once again in mourning,” stated Philip Etale, director of ODM Communications.

According to the ODM Communications Director, the announcement was made before the funeral of former Lugari MP and Cabinet Minister Cyrus Jirongo, who was replaced in the 2002 General Election by Dr. Enoch Wamalwa Kibunguchy. He observed that the area had fallen into mourning once more.
Following a period of illness, Dr Kibunguchy passed away on Monday night in a hospital in Eldoret.
