Ol Kalou Member of Parliament, David Njuguna Kiaraho, is dead.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula confirmed that the lawmaker passed away on Sunday, March 29, while receiving specialised treatment at Nairobi Hospital.
By the time of publication, details surrounding the exact cause of his death, including the illness he had been battling, had not been made public.
Kiaraho had reportedly been unwell for an extended period, seeking treatment both locally and abroad.
Even as he battled illness, efforts to support development in his constituency continued, with various initiatives and donations made on his behalf.
The late MP was first elected to represent Ol Kalou Constituency in 2013 and successfully retained his seat in the 2017 and 2022 General Elections.
In Parliament, he served in the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, as well as the Procedure and House Rules Committee.
His last known public appearance was in November 2025, when he conducted an inspection tour of infrastructure projects within his constituency.
During his tenure, Kiaraho also faced scrutiny over the alleged mismanagement of about KSh 120 million in NG-CDF funds between 2013 and 2018. In 2020, he was questioned by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission over similar claims relating to constituency development funds.
Kiaraho becomes the second sitting MP to die this year, following Emurua Dikirr MP Johana Kipyegon Ng’eno, who was among six people killed in a helicopter crash in Mosop, Nandi County, on February 28, 2026.
