Nairobi — Former National Assembly Majority Leader Amos Kimunya is in mourning following the loss of his wife.

Kimunya shared the news of his wife's passing on Tuesday through his social media account, X.

"It is with deep sorrow and humble acceptance of God's will that I wish to announce that this Tuesday at 3:00 am my dear wife Lucy went to be with the lord," he mourned.

Kimunya disclosed that his wife passed on while receiving care at Nairobi Hospital.

He eulogized her as his "pillar in both my personal and political life."

"She contributed immensely to making our society greener through various initiatives and supporter of the youth and women. Go well our dear Lucy, we will miss you dearly," he mourned.

Kimunya held the position of Member of Parliament for Kipipiri Constituency for three terms.

In the 2022 elections, he was defeated by Wanjiku Muhia, the candidate from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

His notable moment came in 2008 when, as the country's Finance Minister, he resigned amidst the Grand Regency Hotel scandal.

The controversy revolved around accusations of the government's irregular purchase of the hotel.
