Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria paid tribute to his late older sister, Pauline Nyokabi Kuria through his Facebook page.

Acoording to him, his sister was like a mother to them, “Losing our eldest sister has especially been a big blow to our family seeing as we grew up knowing her as our “deputy mother”. Cancer has robbed as a diligent and committed person.”

She was buried on Monday in her home in Gatundu and in attendance was President Ruto as well as Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. He also took the opportunity to thank them for attending, “Today we laid her to rest and from my family and I, we say a huge thank you. Thank you to William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua for gracing us with their presence in Gatundu South to help us bid our sister, Pauline Nyokabi Kuria goodbye.” 

He did not forget all other workmates who showed up for him, “I cannot forget to thank all the political leaders who turned up for us. Thank you for remembering your “once upon a time” colleague and his family during these trying times. And last but not least, to you, our online community. Thank you for all your messages, wishes and engagements. We do not take them for granted.”

Pauline passed away on Friday, January 13, 2023, at the Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital (KUTRH) in Nairobi County, “She died at the hospital while undergoing treatment at KUTRH,” the family said.
