Vihiga Woman Rep Beatrice Adagala Mourns Death of Her Father

Vihiga County Woman Representative Beatrice Adagala is grieving the loss of her father, Mwalimu Luka Jandi Sabwa. 

She shared the news in an update on Sunday, November 8, 2026. She asked Kenyans to pray for her family as they come to terms with the loss.

In her message, Adagala called her father "beloved" and said her heart was heavy. She asked people to pray for the family during this painful time. 

She closed her message with a farewell, wishing him eternal rest.

Her announcement comes a few days after another senior politician lost a parent. Nominated Senator Veronica Maina mourned her father in a statement on Monday, October 26. Maina described him as a devoted parent, mentor, and family patriarch. 

She thanked God for the 93 years he lived and said his absence has left a deep void in her life.

Kwale Governor Fatuma Achani also recently buried her father, Mzee Mohamed Achani. Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya confirmed his death in a statement on Monday, October 19. 

Mvurya extended condolences to the governor and her family, and he prayed for the late Mzee Achani's soul.

Leaders across Kenya often share personal losses in public, and many Kenyans respond with prayers and messages of support. Adagala's family has yet to announce funeral arrangements.
