The National Assembly is mourning the loss of a seasoned legislator following the death of Ol Kalou Member of Parliament, David Njuguna Kiaraho.
The lawmaker passed away on Sunday, March 29, 2026, while receiving specialized medical treatment in India.
Kiaraho’s death marks the end of a political era for Ol Kalou, a constituency he represented for over a decade.
He first entered Parliament in 2013 and successfully defended his seat in both the 2017 and 2022 General Elections, a testament to the deep-rooted support he maintained within Nyandarua County.
A Legacy of Legislative Service
Beyond his constituency duties, Kiaraho was a prominent figure in the National Assembly. He was an active member of the Transport, Public Works, and Housing Committee, where he played a role in overseeing national infrastructure projects.
His colleagues also knew him for his work on the Procedure and House Rules Committee, which governs the legislative processes of the House.
Local leaders and residents have described the late MP as a champion for rural development.
