Lucy Mukuria: I grieve with you. Your father was a good man. An empathic leader. An officer who cared to listen. He was always kind to me and I will always always always remember him for that. He didn’t have to follow the professional advise from an officer of a lower rank than him about mental and behavioral wellness of the men and women in his base. But he did. I pray for your divine peace and comfort at this time because weuh, this is painful. This hurts. This is gutting.
Elijah Muema: “Sincere condolences to you Lorna and family.May God comfort your hearts and give you peace.Kenya has lost an asset.God have Mercy.”
Bosire Master: He indeed provided service to our country. It’s unfortunate. May we never forget that freedom isn’t free. It is forged by men and women who go out of their way. I wish I had the right words to comfort you. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family.
