MCA’s Son Killed in Hit and Run Accident
Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo has shared the heartbreaking news of the death of the son of a Member of County Assembly, who tragically lost his life in a hit-and-run accident in Machakos.
In a statement released on Monday, March 2, the MP revealed that the young man, Blair Otieno Oguta, was the son of Justus Oguta, the MCA for West Uyoma in Siaya County. Blair reportedly passed away following the unfortunate incident that occurred on Sunday night.
Amollo expressed his deep sorrow over this untimely loss and confirmed the details surrounding the event.
“It is with great sadness that I have learned of the passing of young Blair Otieno Oguta, son of Justus Oguta, Member of County Assembly (MCA) for West Uyoma, after a hit-and-run incident in Machakos last night,” he stated.
The MP also paid tribute to Blair, remembering him as a bright young man, and extended his heartfelt condolences to the grieving family and the community.
Blair was a bright university student, and my heartfelt condolences go out to Mr. and Mrs. Oguta, their entire family, the West Uyoma community, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing Blair. “Rest in power,” he concluded.
This news comes just a month after Johnstone Muthama, a Commissioner with the Parliamentary Service Commission, and his ex-wife, Machakos Senator Agnes Kavindu, faced the heartbreaking loss of their son, Moses Muthama.
Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua confirmed this tragic development on Thursday, February 5, expressing his sympathy and support for Kavindu during this incredibly tough time.
In his heartfelt statement, Wambua shared that his thoughts and prayers are with Kavindu and her family as they navigate the pain of losing their son.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Machakos Senator, Hon. Agnes Kavindu Muthama, and her family during this challenging period. I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of your son, Moses Muthama. Please accept our deepest condolences,” he said.
According to a statement from the family, Moses experienced breathing difficulties and was rushed to the hospital, where he was sadly pronounced dead as doctors tried to save him.
This tragedy follows closely on the heels of the ODM party announcing the death of Hillary Masara, the son of Suna West Member of Parliament, Peter Masara.
“We stand in solidarity with Hon. Peter Masara, MP for Suna West, as he mourns the loss of his cherished son, Hillary,” the party expressed in their statement.
ODM offered their prayers and support to the family, hoping they find strength and grace as they navigate their sorrow.
“We pray that Mheshimiwa and his family receive God’s grace, strength, and resilience during this challenging period of grief. May Hillary’s soul rest in peace,” the statement continued.
Just three months earlier, Dagoretti North MP Beatrice Elachi had also faced the heartbreaking loss of her son, Elvis Murakana Namenya.
In a social media post, President William Ruto reached out to the MP’s family, sharing prayers and comforting words for those in mourning.
