Losing a loved one is very painful. They always leave a
gap no one else can fill. You can imagine what the late IEBC ICT manager Chris
Musando’s family is going through.
Musando, who disappeared last Friday, was found dead
after his body was discovered dumped on Saturday morning in a thicket in Kikuyu
area, alongside another body of a 21-year-old woman Caroline Ngumbu who
was believed to be his longtime friend.
The families of the two and the entire nation are still
mourning their death and the mother to the young lady broke her silence,
following her daughter’s death.
“WHEN SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS GOING OUT ON
FRIDAY I DID NOT EXPECT COULD RECEIVE SUCH NEWS. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE SHE IS SUCH A GOOD PERSON,”
She emotionally narrated during an interview with Nation.
The sad story has gone viral and many are sympathizing
with Musando’s family more so his wife Eva Buyu and his three children; two
sons and a daughter.
NASA flag bearer Raila Odinag was also shocked by the
death of Musando and here is what he had to say;
This is a day of shame and sorrow. An
assassin is only a coward, not a hero. That is what I will call those who took
Chris Musando’s life – they are despicable, inhuman and cowardly beings. Chris
is a son, a husband, and, a father. He is the son of a community. Chris is a
patriot who sought to use his celebrated ICT genius and skills to enable
Kenyans choose their government in a free and fair manner. Someone or some
people have seen it fit to take away this dedicated public servant’s life. But
my mind is as clear as daylight. There will never be a day when an assassin
will ever stop a cause and a dream that is just. My family, and the entire NASA
family mourns with his wife and children and his family.What has happened to
Chris Musando, is a stain on our conscience as Kenyans. To IEBC Staff with whom
Chris worked, I ask you to soldier on and deliver your promise to Kenyans – a
free and fair election. Never has the fate of so many, relied on the actions of
a few. But as my Pentagon colleagues made clear: We are too many to be
intimidated. Rest in peace Chris. Your life will not be in vain. Justice will
be done.”
Well, below are photos of the young family Musando has
