Uhuru condoles with Beth Mugo’s family following passing of her husband

President Uhuru Kenyatta has condoled with the family of Senator Beth Mugo following the demise of her husband Ambassador Nicholas Muratha Mugo.

In his condolence message, Uhuru described the late Mugo as a patriotic and dedicated person whose role in laying a firm foundation for the country will forever be cherished.

“We will forever cherish Mr. Nicholas Mugo’s contribution in laying a strong foundation for this country’s progress. We appreciate that during our early days of independence, he was able to represent our nation as a diplomat in the United Kingdom and later at the UN General Assembly where, together with other Kenyans, he effectively represented Kenya’s interests at the global arena,” Uhuru said.

The president prayed for the family’s grace and strength during their time of mourning.

“At this hour of mourning, I pray that the Almighty God will give Senator Beth Mugo and her family the strength and grace to bear the loss of their patriarch,” Uhuru said.

Mugo passed away on Thursday morning at the Nairobi Hospital where he was receiving treatment.

He will be interred on Friday in a private ceremony.
