Former Nambale MP aspirant on the ODM Party ticket, Ken Okwara, has expressed his heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the late Dr. Moses Okhoba Mulomi, the former Deputy Governor of Busia County. Dr. Mulomi, who passed away recently, is remembered for his unwavering commitment to public service and significant contributions to both his local community and the cultural and creative industries in Kenya.
In his tribute, Okwara emphasized the deep impact Dr. Mulomi’s death has had, noting that it has left a void in both the Busia community and the broader national landscape. "His passing is a great loss to all of us. Dr. Mulomi was a dedicated leader, a champion of public service, and a visionary who made meaningful contributions to the cultural sector," Okwara said.
Dr. Mulomi served as the second Deputy Governor of Busia County, where he gained widespread respect for his leadership and dedication to improving the lives of his constituents. His commitment to public service extended beyond governance, with a particular focus on the cultural and creative industries. One of his most notable roles was as the Director of the Kenya Cultural Centre (KCC), where he played an instrumental role in revitalizing the institution.
Under Dr. Mulomi’s leadership, the KCC made significant strides, with one of his key initiatives being the ongoing construction of the Marachi Cultural Centre in Butula Sub-County. The Marachi Centre, which will serve as a hub for cultural and creative activities, is expected to be a lasting legacy of Dr. Mulomi’s vision to support and promote Kenya’s rich cultural heritage.
Okwara, who is deeply saddened by the loss, extended his condolences to Dr. Mulomi’s family, friends, and all those who worked closely with him. "Dr. Mulomi’s vision and leadership will be missed, but his legacy in the cultural and creative economy will continue to inspire generations to come," Okwara added.
Dr. Mulomi’s contributions to Busia County, the cultural sector, and the nation at large will undoubtedly remain a source of inspiration for years to come. His passing marks the end of an era, but his impact on the public service and cultural spheres will leave a lasting mark on the communities he served.
