Gachagua Announces Sister’s Death

Gachagua announced Eunice’s death on Friday, November 6, in a statement addressed to the extended Reriani family.

He disclosed that she died in Naro Moru and had assumed the role of family matriarch following the death of their mother seven years ago.

The former Deputy President also extended his condolences to Eunice’s children, Waithera and Murimi, as well as her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He remembered his sister as a warm and joyful person whose presence brought happiness to those around her.

“We thank God for the 77 years she lived happily here on earth. We will deeply miss her wise counsel, warmth and the precious moments we shared. Eunice was a happy and warm soul who lit up our hearts,” Gachagua said.

Eunice was the firstborn child of the late Mzee Nahashon Gachagua Reriani and the late Martha Kirigo Gachagua.
