The family of Commissioner Johnson Muthama and Senator Agnes Kavindu on Saturday laid their son, Moses Muthama Nduya, to rest in a solemn ceremony at Tala, Machakos County.

In an emotional statement, Senator Kavindu described the burial as “a deeply painful and emotional moment for my family and me, yet we were profoundly strengthened by the overwhelming support and solidarity shown by leaders, friends, and wananchi who stood with us during the burial ceremony.”

The ceremony drew a host of national and county leaders, including members of Parliament, fellow Senators, and representatives of the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA). Hassan Omar Hassan, UDA Secretary General, represented President William Ruto, who conveyed his condolences to the bereaved family.

“There are few sorrows as profound as that of a parent losing a child; it is a burden no heart is ever prepared to carry. In this hour of grief, may you be surrounded by compassion, upheld by faith, and strengthened by the love of those who stand with you,” the President said through his representative.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula hailed the late Moses as an enterprising, diligent, and hardworking young man who embodied the values of his father.

Speaking during the send-off, Wetangula said, “Together with other leaders, and in my capacity as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission, we joined the family of Commissioner Hon. Johnson Muthama and Senator Agnes Kavindu for the final rites of their son, Moses Nduya Muthama, in Tala, Machakos County.”

He added, “I encouraged the family to find strength in the Lord during this difficult time, as losing a child brings immense pain to the family. I also urged leaders to promote unity and speak about peace, especially during this time of rising political tensions. May the soul of Moses rest in eternal peace.”

Senator Hamida Kibwana, who also attended the funeral, expressed solidarity with the grieving family. “In this painful moment, may God grant the family strength, comfort, and peace beyond understanding. We stand with them in prayer and solidarity,” she said.

Senator Kavindu, reflecting on the outpouring of support, said, “Your presence, prayers, and words of comfort have carried us through one of the most difficult seasons of our lives. As a mother and as a Senator, I am truly humbled by the unity, compassion, and love demonstrated today. May God bless you all abundantly for walking this journey of grief with us.”
The late Moses’ burial underscored a collective display of empathy and support from leaders and the public alike. Among those present were UDA National Organising Secretary Vincent Kawaya, Senator Veronica Maina, and several county and national figures who joined the family to pay their respects.
Kavindu concluded her tribute to her son with a heartfelt farewell: “Rest in eternal peace, my son Moses. Your light will forever remain in our hearts.”
