Former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama has spoken publicly following the death of his son, Moses Muthama Nduya.

Taking to his official X account on Thursday, February 5, 2026, Muthama confirmed that his son passed away a day earlier, describing the loss as heartbreaking and difficult for the family to comprehend.

“It is with deep sorrow that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our beloved son, Moses Muthama Nduya, who passed on yesterday,” Muthama stated.

Muthama described Moses as a joyful and diligent young man whose life was cut short far too soon, leaving the family devastated.

“Moses was a joyful and diligent young man, and it is painful that his life was taken so soon,” he stated.

Despite the overwhelming grief, the family expressed faith and hope, entrusting their son to God’s care during the difficult moment.

“Though our hearts are heavy, we entrust him to God’s loving care. May his soul rest in eternal peace,” Muthama wrote on X.

Messages of condolences

Muthama’s son reportedly collapsed at home on Wednesday evening and was rushed to a nearby facility, according to family and friends.

The deceased’s mother is Machakos Senator Agnes Kavindu, with her colleagues sending messages of condolence.
