Former Likuyani Member of Parliament, Dr. Enoch Kibunguchy, has passed away early Tuesday morning while receiving treatment at hospital in Eldoret town.
Dr. Kibunguchy succeeded Cyrus Jirongo as the Member of Parliament for Lugari Constituency following the 2002 General Election, serving one term from 2003 to 2007. After the 2007 elections, Jirongo reclaimed the Lugari seat.
Several politicians eulogised him as devoted public servant.
‘Hon. Dr. Enoch Kibunguchy was a devoted public servant whose life was marked by humility, compassion and steadfast service, having distinguished himself both as a medical professional and as a legislator. During his tenure in the National Assembly, he was a diligent and principled Member who consistently championed the development agenda and the welfare of the people of Likuyani. His contribution to public life and to the advancement of healthcare and leadership in our region will be remembered with deep respect and gratitude. I convey my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the people of Likuyani and the wider Western Kenya region and I pray that the Almighty grants them strength and comfort as Dr. Enoch Kibunguchy rests in eternal peace.’ Moses Wetang’ula, National Assembly Speaker
“Another tree has fallen. The larger Lugari has lost. We have been plunged into mourning again. Even before we lay to rest CJ, his successor in the 2002 general election Dr. Enoch Wamalwa Kibunguchy has rested. He would later serve the people of the newly created Likuyani Constituency for two consecutive terms (2013-2022). Sad day for the people of Lugari. Sad month for the people of Lugari. Sad year for the people of Lugari. Lugari has lost. Go well Mheshimiwa.” Philip Etale, ODM Communications Director
“Dr. Kibunguchy was a dedicated public servant and a visionary leader who tirelessly served his people with commitment, humility, and patriotism, always striving for the development of Likuyani and a better Kenya. I fondly recall our recent interactions during the TAWE sensitization event in Likuyani, to which he graciously invited me. Those moments and engagements remain vivid and will be remembered with great respect. May his soul rest in eternal peace. I convey my heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and the people of Likuyani during this time of profound loss.” George Natembeya, Governor, Trans Nzoia County.
“An accomplished professional, Obstetric Gynaecologist per excellence, who was my respected senior. MHSRIP’ Dr Boni Khalwale, Senator from Kakamega.
