Fresh details have emerged about the close personal relationship between the late former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo and Muhoho Kenyatta, the younger brother of former president Uhuru Kenyatta, following an emotional tribute shared after Jirongo’s death.
Muhoho Kenyatta revealed that in the days and moments before Jirongo’s untimely demise, the two spent time together in simple but meaningful companionship, bonding over meals and long conversations away from the public eye.
In a heartfelt speech Muhoho described Jirongo not just as a political figure, but as a brother and trusted confidant.
“We used to consume chicken and ugali quite a lot when we met. Sleep well, my brother,” Muhoho said, a short but powerful tribute that resonated widely and painted a picture of a friendship grounded in warmth, familiarity, and mutual respect.
Those close to the late politician say Jirongo valued these quiet moments with friends, preferring relaxed, informal settings where discussions ranged from business and politics to family and life experiences.
His relationship with the Kenyatta family, particularly Muhoho, was described as longstanding and sincere, forged through years of shared interests and personal interactions rather than political convenience.
Muhoho’s eulogy stood out for its simplicity and emotional depth, offering Kenyans a rare glimpse into Jirongo’s private life.
It contrasted sharply with the intense public scrutiny surrounding the circumstances of his death, shifting focus instead to the human side of the former legislator.
Jirongo’s death has left a void not only in political circles but also among friends who knew him beyond titles and influence.
Muhoho Kenyatta’s words have since become a touching reminder of the bonds Jirongo built and the legacy of camaraderie he leaves behind.
