How did Cyrus Jirongo help Susan Nakhumicha?
He added that he knew Jirongo’s family and asked God to rest his soul in heaven.
“I came to offer condolences to this family because I have a special relationship with CJ’s family. One of them was my classmate. And since this sad incident happened, we talked and agreed that I must come to offer my condolences. CJ was a hero among the Luhyas. I only met him twice. The first time was before I entered politics and he gave me advice. The second time was when I had challenges with doctors when I was the Minister of Health. He called me and told me that I could not fully understand what was going on continues,” he said.
Nakhumicha recalled how Jirongo warned him about the fate of his job when doctors went on strike when he was Minister of Health.
According to him, Jirongo advised him to start looking for another plan because he was about to lose his job due to politics.
“He told me this is politics, and since you are our daughter from the Waluhya region, you have raised and proved that we are hardworking people.
This is politics; they will pass, but you need to have a plan. He told me I won’t be in that position for long, so I should plan. From there I started planning because he had seen the future. I didn’t stay long. But who is God? Now I am an ambassador, but here in Trans Nzoia I will come back so that we can plan things again,” he added.
