The Jubilee Party has mourned the death of Margaret Kawuki, its nominated Member of the County Assembly (MCA) in Taita Taveta County, describing her as a dedicated public servant and champion of democracy, equality and women’s rights.
In a condolence statement issued on Thursday, October 29, 2026, Jubilee Party Secretary General Moitalel ole Kenta said Kawuki’s death was a significant loss to her family, the party and the people of Taita Taveta County.
“It is with profound sorrow and a deep sense of loss that I, on behalf of the Jubilee Party, convey our heartfelt condolences following the untimely passing of our nominated Member of the County Assembly of Taita Taveta County, Hon. Margaret Kawuki,” ole Kenta stated.
The party described Kawuki as a committed leader who stood up for the rights of women and advocated for democratic values, noting that she remained a voice of reason even during difficult moments.
“Hon. Kawuki was more than a dedicated member of Jubilee Party. She was a committed public servant, a champion of democracy, equality and the rights of women, and a courageous voice for those who often go unheard,” the statement read.
“She carried herself with conviction, dignity and compassion, and remained a voice of reason even in difficult moments.”
Jubilee said Kawuki’s service in the Taita Taveta County Assembly and her contribution to the party’s democratic ideals would be remembered.
“Her service to the people of Taita Taveta and her contribution to the democratic ideals that our party stands for will not be forgotten,” ole Kenta said.
“In the County Assembly, she represented the aspirations of her constituents with dedication and purpose, always seeking to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those she served.”
The party noted that her death had affected not only her immediate family and friends but also the county’s residents, Jubilee members and the wider democratic movement in Kenya.
“Her passing is therefore not only a deeply personal loss to her family, friends and loved ones, but also a loss to the people of Taita Taveta County, the Jubilee fraternity and the wider democratic movement in our country,” the statement added.
Ole Kenta said the party would remember Kawuki for her commitment to public service and her belief in using leadership to improve people’s lives.
“At a time such as this, words can hardly capture the pain of losing a colleague, a sister in service and a fellow patriot whose journey was cut tragically short,” he stated.
“We can only hold on to the legacy she leaves behind, a legacy of service, courage, equality and an unwavering belief in the power of public service to transform lives.”
On behalf of Jubilee, the secretary general extended condolences to Kawuki’s family, friends, colleagues, supporters and the people of Taita Taveta County.
“On behalf of Jubilee Party, I extend our deepest sympathies and solidarity to the Kawuki family, her friends, colleagues, supporters and the people of Taita Taveta County,” ole Kenta said.
“May you find strength and comfort in the memories of a life that, though cut short, touched many and stood for something greater than itself.”
The party also offered prayers for the family and other mourners, asking God to grant them strength as they come to terms with the loss.
“During this difficult period, our thoughts and prayers remain with you. May the Almighty God grant the family fortitude to bear this painful loss, comfort all those who mourn her, and grant Hon. Margaret Kawuki eternal rest,” the statement read.
