The family of ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi is mourning the death of his mother, Mama Hannah Atsianzale Mudavadi.
92-year-old Mama Hannah passed away on Monday morning at the Nairobi Hospital where she was undergoing treatment.
“On behalf of the entire Mudavadi family, I wish to announce that our family Matriarch, Mama Hannah Atsianzale Mudavadi, has gone to be with the Lord. She rested at 5.00 am today at the Nairobi Hospital,” Mudavadi wrote on social media.
“As a family, we are devastated by this loss but are bearing it with grace. Please remember us in your prayers,” he added.
The deceased was one of the two wives of the late veteran politician Moses Mudamba Mudavadi, who died in 1989 aged 66.
President Kenyatta, Deputy President William Ruto, ODM leader Raila Odinga, and Ford-Kenya leader Moses Wetang’ula are among leaders who have sent messages of condolence to the family of Mudavadi.
“Mama Hannah was the cornerstone of the Mudavadi family, a wise woman of few words on whose broad shoulders many people were raised to become great Kenyans,” Kenyatta eulogized.
He added: “Mrs. Mudavadi was a gracious and loving mother, a true matriarch who loved and took care of all people, especially those in need, without any reservation.”
Is this newsworthy? she was…

It’s newsworthy for those who Knew her, her late Husband MOSES Mudavadi (who was Minister for Education and later Minister for Local Govetnment); and those who know her son Musalia Mudavadi. By the way: How old was Daniel Moi when he Died?
Moi was the president…
Moi was the president irrespective of his age.
