Kenyan MCA Dies of Cancer in India

Eunice Karegi, a member of the Meru County Assembly, has passed away.

Karegi, who is the MCA for Kiagu Ward, died of cancer while undergoing treatment at a hospital in India on Thursday.

Her passing was confirmed by Machakos Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua, the leader of the Maendeleo Chap Chap (MCC) party under which Karegi was elected.

Mutua eulogized Ms. Karegi as a sharp, pleasant, and focused person who was loyal to the party.

Karegi was one of two women who were elected to the Meru County Assembly during the 2017 general elections.

Meru County Assembly Speaker Joseph Kaberia said the death of Karegi is a great loss to the assembly, the people of Kiagu ward, and Meru County at large.

“On my behalf and entire Meru assembly fraternity, I convey our sincere condolences to family, friends, people of Kiagu, and entire county government of Meru,” Kaberia stated.
