Wetang’ula on Injendi’s burial

Wetang’ula also confirmed that Injendi’s burial ceremony that is set for Tuesday, March 4, 2025, will be a state function attended by President William Ruto.

The Ford Kenya party leader further stated that Injendi will be laid to rest with the honor he deserves.

“As we begin this final journey with him, we take comfort in the impact he made and the lives he touched. Tomorrow, in a State function attended by H.E. President Dr. William Ruto and other leaders, we will lay him to rest with the honor he deserves. Rest in peace, my friend. Your service and devotion will never be forgotten,” Wetang’ula said.

Injendi’s funeral program

The late MP Injendi’s funeral cortège arrived in Malava for a church service at St Teresa Parish Catholic Church on March 2, ahead of his burial.

According to the funeral arrangements for the late MP, on March 3, 2025, political leaders were supposed to have the opportunity to offer their condolence messages.

However, during the burial on March 4, only President Ruto, family members, and church representatives will be permitted to speak, as the family has emphasized their desire to keep the event non-political.

Injendi passed away on February 17, 2025, at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, following a short illness. Tragically, his elder brother, Samuel Injendi, a retired prison officer aged 80, died just a day earlier on February 16 at Kakamega County General Hospital.
