Dr Sobbie Mulindi, the chairman of Nairobi Hospice, is dead.
He succumbed to cancer on Tuesday at the age of 70.
ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi eulogised him as a dedicated man who "put life into the days of the hospice fraternity and not just days into their lives."
"He shall notably be remembered for his tireless fight against the HIV-Aids scourge in his role as director, National Aids Control Council (NACC), among many other key roles he played," he said.
Mulindi was a former deputy director of the National Aids Control Council (NACC) between 2008-2014.
He will be remembered for achievements, including helping to reduce the HIV prevalence rate from a high of about 30 per cent in the early 2000s.
