DEPUTY PRESIDENT RIGATHI GACHAGUA MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF THE LATE FORMER MATHIRA MP ELIUD MATU WAMAE

The late Matu Wamae was one of my predecessors as a Member of Parliament for the Mathira constituency, where he served for a record 15 years and left a great mark.Hon. Matu Wamae will be remembered as the Executive Director of ICDC in the Sixties and Seventies, where he oversaw the transfer of entrepreneurship from white colonialists to indigenous Kenyans.It is, however, his leadership prowess and meticulousness in reviving the dead Kenya Cooperatives Creameries (KCC) into a vibrant, profit-making KCC that booked him a place in the history of industry in Kenya.May the good Lord give comfort to his family as they prepare to lay to rest Mathira’s finest and one of the greatest industrialists of our time.May he rest in peace and perpetual light shine upon him forever. My deepest sympathies to his family, friends, the people of Mathira Constituency, and Kenyans.Hon. Rigathi Gachagua
