Waziri wa Mambo ya Uchukuzi Davis Chirchir amepoteza baba yake

Familia ya Waziri wa Mambo ya Uchukuzi Davis Chirchir imejawa na huzuni kwa kifo cha baba yake, Mzee Edwin Koech. Viongozi kadhaa, ikiwa ni pamoja na CS wa Elimu Julius Bitok na mwenzake wa Mambo ya Ndani Raymond Omollo, wametoa pole, wakimtaja kama nguzo imara ya familia. Mwili wake umesafirishwa Lee Funeral Home Nairobi.

Habari za kifo cha Mzee Edwin Koech, baba wa CS Davis Chirchir, zilitangazwa leo, Aprili 21. Familia bado haijatoa maelezo ya kina kuhusu sababu ya kifo au mipango ya mazishi.

CS wa Elimu Julius Bitok alisema, “Nawasilisha pole za moyo wangu kwa CS wa Barabara na Uchukuzi, Davis Chirchir, na familia yake kwa kifo cha baba yake, Mzee Edwin Koech.” Akiongeza, “Mzee Koech alikuwa nguzo imara na inayotegemewa, ambaye mwongozo na hekima yake iliunda wengi zaidi ya familia yake ya karibu.”

Kiongozi Mkuu wa Wengi katika Seneti Aron Cheruiyot alimtaja Mzee Koech kama mtu mwenye ushawishi mkubwa ambaye alikuwa mshauri kwa wengi. Mkurugenzi wa zamani wa CS Charles Keter alisema, “Arap Koech alitoa kwa ukarimu wakati, rasilimali na ushauri wake ili kuinua wale walio karibu naye. Maisha aliyogusa na maendeleo aliyosimamia katika jamii yake ni sifa ya kudumu kwa mtu aliyeamini nguvu ya kurudisha.”

Mzee Koech alijulikana kama Mkristo thabiti wenye maadili ya familia na alichangia sana katika kuinua jamii yake kupitia elimu na ujenzi wa huduma za kijamii kama shule. Hii inafuata kwa karibu wiki moja baada ya kifo cha baba wa MP wa Seme, Mzee Eliud Nyikal Okaka, Aprili 12.
