Today, I attended the funeral of the late Tom Charito Sande, the late aide of Prof. John Lonyang'apuo, alongside family, fellow leaders, friends, and mourners at Kamuino, where he was buried at his home.
Tom Charito lived purposefully. He served with integrity, led humbly, and treated everyone with kindness and respect. He was known for his hard work and welcoming nature.
His contributions to the community were meaningful. The high standards he set will endure, and his absence creates a void that cannot be filled.
Tom was a man guided by principles. He was dedicated, honest, and compassionate. He made time for others, worked diligently without shortcuts, and commanded respect.
Kenya has lost a committed public servant. We have lost a good man.
May God comfort the Sande family and strengthen them.
Rest in peace, Tom Charito Sande.
