Former Foreign Affairs assistant minister Dr Hezron Manduku died on Saturday night in a Nairobi hospital after battling a disease for over a decade.
The family has confirmed his death, which was also immediately acknowledged by Nyaribari Masaba MP Ezekiel Mochogu.
“Mzee has peacefully rested. He served our people with humility and courage. We thank God for helping him this far. It was a good battle,” he said on Sunday.
Dr Manduku was first elected in 1992 on a KANU ticket after beating Prof Sam Ongeri, the current Kisii senator. In 1997, he lost to Ongeri.
But in 2002, he recuperated Nyaribari Masaba seat under Ford People, then under Mzee Nyachae, who had contested for presidency.
In 2007, Dr Manduku lost again to his rival Prof Sam Ongeri. He reverted to his business. He is the proprietor of Hema school and Hospital.

let the dynasty grouped themselves,so that we can slaughter them at once.
When Murathe says "we" I wonder who it is that he is referring to. Anyway, I believe the road to state house for Dr.WSR might be bumpy but surely the Murathe's of this country can't stop Dr.WSR from getting there! I MIGHT BE WRONG BUT I AM RIGHT.
wow!very captivating news to read, thanks
