Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has apoligised to Kenyans and the family of former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka for announcing that Kalonzo’s wife Pauline Musyoka had died.
Governor Mutua broke the news on his Twitter and Facebook on Sunday, December 2, 2022 noting thus:
“I have learnt of the passing away of Her Excellency Mrs Pauline Musyoka with shock and disbelief,” Mutua noted on twitter.
Mutua however pulled the down the tweet and apologized saying:
“I wish to apologize for the earlier post about the family of H.E. Kalonzo Musyoka. This was a result of misinformation and a hoax from several players, some, seemingly credible and close to H.E. Kalonzo, who made it seem like a message to me about the family.”
Makueni governor Kivutha Kibwana also tweeted about Pauline’s health saying: “We miss Mama Pauline. I say POLE to the family. We may disagree with SK in matters politics, but I know Mama was a real pillar in our region. HE has done extremely well in terms of taking close care of his spouse. I respect that. We pray to God for a miracle of healing.
Speaking to Citizen recently, Kalonzo said that: “Mama is stable and we thank God. We continue to pray for a miracle.”
“She is a mobilizer, I miss that. I was sharing with you how before 2013 Governor Kiraitu Murungi came to my house and said ‘mama ametuweza; that was before I teamed up with Raila and then we lost everything in Meru.”
“She always follows and that is why at the delegates conference some two family members were there with me and we keep on praying,” Musyoka added.
Kalonzo said: “Huyu mke wangu Pauline tulijuana na yeye akiwa Form 2 na mimi nikiwa Form 5. This was about 1972, Yeye alikuwa Mlango Girls. Alikuwa Secretary ya Kamati ya Wakristo. Na mimi nilipokuwa Meru school tukakutana katika Christians Conference, Mama Maridadi, beautiful, tall and smart. Then after that nikaona a beautiful wife is a gift from God.”
