Kajwang died last evening following a cardiac arrest. The senator had a heart attack and was rushed to Marter Hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The news of Kajwang’s demise have caught almost everybody off-guard considering that the senator was not reported to be ill.

He also served as the minister for migration in the coalition government led by President Mwai Kibaki and the then Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Kajwang studied law in Makerere University in Uganda and later joined the Kenya School of Law.

He died at the age of 55 years.

Our condolences go to the late Kajwang’s family, county residents and Kenyans at large.
