Ruto condole with Ichung’wah's family after father's death

President William Ruto has mourned the father of Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichungw’ah, describing him as an “industrious and astute businessman”.

According to a statement from the office of the Speaker of the National Assembly, Mzee Isaac Ngugi passed away “peacefully in his sleep” at his home in Kikuyu on Thursday.

“Our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends for the passing of Mzee Isaac Ngugi, the father of Kimani Ichung’wah,” Ruto said.

The President noted that the man was among the founders of Kikuyu Town.

 “Mzee touched many lives through his many transformative initiatives that supported the vulnerable. His legacy will live on. Rest In Peace, Mzee.”

Mzee Isaac was aged 105.

His passing away came after a week-long hospitalisation at Karen Hospital, where he was discharged last week.

The family has since initiated funeral arrangements.

The statement from the Speaker’s office urged MPs to pay their condolences to the family starting Tuesday, September 9, 2025.
