"He served his constituents with unwavering commitment and integrity. His tireless efforts and contribution to our legislative processes, particularly the education sector and sugar industry, aimed at improving the lives of Kenyan people will be deeply missed," the speaker said.
"As we come to terms with this great loss, let us remember Injendi for his remarkable service and the positive impact he had on our nation. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, constituent, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him."
Leader of the Majority and Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah described him as a passionate and committed legislator, whose tireless advocacy transformed lives in Malava.
“It is with heartfelt sympathy that we mourn a colleague and friend, Malulu Injendi. His dedication to serving Malava and his unwavering commitment to uplifting his constituents were an inspiration to all who had the privilege of working alongside him in Parliament,” Ichung’wah said.
Reflecting on their time together, Ichung’wah praised Injendi’s integrity and leadership, emphasizing that his legacy would endure.
“I was honoured to serve with him and will always remember his passion, integrity, and tireless advocacy for the people. His legacy will continue to resonate in the hearts of those he touched,” he added.
Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa echoed these sentiments, hailing Injendi as an exemplary leader known for his level-headedness, selflessness, and ability to articulate issues with clarity and conviction.
