Nation mourns former MP Cyrus Jirongo

Leaders and residents from Kenya’s western region, particularly Vihiga and Trans Nzoia counties, are mourning the death of veteran politician Cyrus Jirongo, a politician whose profile attracted both admiration and was divisive in equal measure. At his rural home in Vihiga Cunty, those who knew him say his shoes will be difficult to fill, citing a lifetime devoted to uplifting western Kenya.
