Ol Kalou MP David Njuguna Kiaraho Dies in India While Undergoing Specialized Treatment After Long Illness Battle according to sources
Ol Kalou Member of Parliament David Njuguna Kiaraho has died after a period of illness, marking the end of a long-serving political career in Nyandarua County. His death was confirmed on Sunday, sending shockwaves across the country and within parliamentary circles.
The announcement was made by Moses Wetangula, who described Kiaraho as a dedicated legislator committed to public service. Leaders from across the political divide expressed grief, terming his death a major loss to Parliament and his constituents.
Kiaraho reportedly passed away while undergoing treatment, with sources indicating he had been battling illness for some time. Although full medical details were not immediately made public, his condition had kept him away from active parliamentary duties in recent weeks.
He served as the Member of Parliament for Ol Kalou Constituency since 2013, having been elected for three consecutive terms. Over the years, he built a reputation as a consistent and development-focused leader within Nyandarua County.
During his time in the National Assembly of Kenya, Kiaraho contributed to key legislative processes and oversight roles. He served in influential committees, including those handling transport, infrastructure, and parliamentary procedures.
Before joining politics, Kiaraho had a successful professional career as an architect. He was trained at the University of Nairobi and later worked in the private sector, where he established himself in the field of design and construction.
Colleagues have described him as disciplined, calm, and focused on service delivery, noting his efforts in improving infrastructure and public services in his constituency. His leadership style earned him respect both locally and nationally.
His death now creates a vacancy in Ol Kalou Constituency, setting the stage for a by-election in accordance with electoral laws. Political parties are expected to begin preparations as the process to fill the seat unfolds.
Funeral arrangements are underway, with leaders and residents expected to pay their last respects in the coming days. As tributes continue to pour in, Kiaraho is being remembered as a committed public servant whose legacy will endure in Nyandarua and beyond.
