Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka on Sunday, May 30, revealed the last conversation he had with the late politician Kalembe Ndile.<\/p>\n

Speaking at Lee Funeral home, a clearly distraught Kalonzo disclosed that he had been spoken with the firebrand politicians on several occasions prior to his death.<\/p>\n

He stated that Kalembe had called him on Saturday, 3 a.m. and he sought admission to a hospital in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

“He informed me that they had tried getting admitted at a local hospital and was later admitted at Nairobi Hospital,” he disclosed.<\/p>\n

Thanking the doctors for their efforts to save his life, Kalonzo affirmed that Kalembe’s death was not related to any Covid-19 complications.<\/p>\n

“I honestly did not know that was the last time I would be speaking to him,” he added.<\/p>\n

Following the news of Kalembe’s passing, various leaders took to eulogise him with President Uhuru Kenyatta decribing him as a witty, determined and practical politician whose rise in life was as a result of sheer hard work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfortunate that death has taken from us the Hon Kalembe Ndile in his prime. He was a lively politician who loved and worked with everyone and always held the interests of the country at heart,” Uhuru stated.<\/p>\n

On his part, Deputy President William described the late politician as a master of equality who set an incredible example of service to all.<\/p>\n

“He will best be remembered for his modesty, insights, independent voice and fighting for the rights of the underprivileged,” stated Ruto.<\/p>\n

Kalembe had a political career spanning 20 years having clinched the Kibwezi parliamentary seat in 2002 and later served as the assistant minister for Wildlife in President Mwai Kibaki’s cabinet.<\/p>\n

He adopted the name “son of a squatter” which he used to gain relatability with the people he was looking to represent in parliament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
