Kenya’s political leadership came together on Thursday to pay tribute to the late Sen. William Cheptumo, remembering him as a statesman whose humility, wisdom and unwavering commitment to public service left an indelible mark on the nation.

At a funeral service held at AIC Milimani in Nairobi, Speaker of the Senate, Rt. Hon. Amason Kingi led the tributes, describing the late legislator as a calm voice in the storm of politics, a man whose convictions were guided not by personal ambition but by a deep sense of duty.
