Mama Victoria Mercy Nyaithiru, the mother of the Supreme Court of Kenya judge Njoki Ndungu has been cremated in the US.
Her remains were incinerated in a private ceremony held on Thursday in Utica, New York while a memorial service was held virtually on Saturday.
Mama Nyaithiru succumbed to cancer in New York on Sunday, November 15th.
In a message of condolence to the family, relatives, and friends, President Kenyatta described Mama Nyaithiru as a kind and hardworking woman who raised an outstanding family.
“Mama Victoria Nyaithiru was a God-fearing woman who believed that ultimately all good things are the result of a life of honesty, faith, and hard work,” said Uhuru.
Kenyatta added that the deceased’s reputation can be seen in her children’s contribution to Kenya’s socio-economic transformation.
“She loved her family and was fiercely protective of her children, raising them on a value-based upbringing which is reflected in their successful lives.”
“Certainly we can see the fruits of her keen parenting through her children some of whom are prominent leaders of our times,” he added.
Pole kwa Njoki & Ndugu zako…
Pole kwa Njoki & Ndugu zako kwa kifo cha Mama yenu.But conglaturations for “teaching” senseless Kenyans(mostly your tribesmen ona a kwanyu,Kabete ) in diaspora that no matter how you loved him/her,a person becomes worthless the moment he /she expires.The way you handled your her body’s disposal must be commended.You are an intelligent lady.This is a big challenge to Kenyans abroad who hold harambees to fly the cargo home which is wastage of money and time.
Very true @Morris Menye.

But Njoki,Iike I challenged…
But Njoki,Iike I challenged your colleague,Mbete in the so-called supreme court,can you explain why you could not pull out of Raila’s election petition against Muigai if you have been friends since childhood?I had challenged Mbete Mwilu to explain why she heard the same case which was prosecuted by her corrupt boyfriend/husband,Wako who also wrote a judgement for her to read in court.
