The former Kibwezi West MP Kalembe Ndile died on Saturday, May, 2021, at the Nairobi Hospital.
According to the family, Ndile died of Liver cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and chronic alcoholism.
His body has been taken to the Lee Funeral Home as funeral plans begin.
Ndile died aged 57 years.
In April 2021, Ndile asked to be nominated so he could represent People Living With Disability in the senate.
According to Kalembe, he was recently involved in a grisly road accident that left him disabled and thus made him qualify for the position.
He noted in the letter that: “During the repeat presidential election, I was assigned the role of mobilizing the Nairobi County’s Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) for the last campaign rally at Nairobi’s Uhuru Park.”
“Due to unavoidable circumstances, the meeting went on up to well past 2 AM.”
“On my way home, I was unfortunately involved in a serious car accident which left my right thigh broken, among other serious injuries,” read part of his letter.
Ndile also claimed that Jubilee owed him a favor having dissolved his former party, The Independent Party (TIP), to form a winning team with President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto.
Ndile wrote the letter after the Registrar of Political Parties removed the name of nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura (a PLWD official in the Senate) from the Jubilee Party Membership register.
