Machakos Senator Agnes Kavindu Muthama’s family is in mourning after the sudden death of her son, Moses Nduya Muthama, in an incident that has shocked leaders and residents across the region.
According to early reports, Moses developed breathing problems on the evening of Wednesday, February 4.
Family members and those present moved quickly and rushed him to a nearby hospital in an effort to save his life.
However, he was pronounced dead on arrival, cutting short the emergency response and leaving the family devastated.
Doctors are yet to release an official medical explanation, and a postmortem examination is expected to provide more clarity on the exact cause of death.
Moses Nduya Muthama was the only child of Senator Agnes Kavindu Muthama and former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama.
Johnson Muthama also previously served as the chairperson of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), making the family widely known in Kenya’s political circles.
News of the loss spread quickly, triggering an outpouring of condolences from political leaders, friends, and supporters from different parts of the country.
Several leaders shared public messages of sympathy and support. Kitui Senator Enock Wambua expressed his condolences, saying his thoughts and prayers are with Senator Kavindu and her family during this difficult period.
He described the loss as deeply painful and urged the family to remain strong. Other leaders and close associates also posted condolence messages, describing Moses as a valued member of the family whose death came as a heavy blow.
The body now rests at a mortuary in Machakos as the family and authorities prepare for further medical examination and funeral arrangements. Close relatives have asked for privacy as they come to terms with the tragedy.
This loss has revived memories of another painful moment for the wider Muthama family. In April 2022, Johnson Muthama lost his daughter, Janet Njoki.
At that time, national leaders sent condolence messages, describing her as dependable, responsible, and hardworking.
The latest death adds another layer of grief to a family that has faced repeated personal tragedy in recent years.
Questions still surround the exact medical circumstances that led to Moses Nduya Muthama’s sudden collapse.
Investigators and medical experts expect the postmortem results to guide the next steps and clarify what happened in his final hours.
