President Uhuru Kenyatta has eulogised Mahoo ward MCA Ronald Sagurani as a progressive grassroots politician.
Sagurani, who was a Jubilee Party ward representative, and Taita Taveta County Assembly leader of minority, passed away on Tuesday while undergoing medication at Pandya Memorial Hospital in Mombasa.
In his message of condolence to the family, ward residents, and friends, the president said the cruel hand of death had taken Sagurani away at a time when his constituents still needed his transformative leadership.
“As a party, we have lost a progressive leader who was dedicated to the service of his community. His commitment to improving the lives of wananchi at the grassroots endeared him to many, propelling him to be elected twice to represent Mahoo Ward,” Uhuru said.
He added that Sagurani leaves behind a colourful legacy of transformative development projects that will continue to positively impact the residents.
“We appreciate his commitment to improving the agricultural sector within the County of Taita Taveta, and especially banana farming where he championed for value addition.”
The MCA was serving his second term in office.
Taita Taveta Governor Granton Samboja, and the county leadership also mourned the MCA's death.
