Addressing the crowd during the funeral gathering, Gumo recalled how Jirongo supported friends, strangers, churches, and community projects even during difficult personal and political moments in his lifetime.
The remarks drew loud approval from mourners who chanted in agreement, reflecting widespread admiration for Jirongo’s open heart and readiness to share his resources with many people freely.
Gumo sharply criticized leaders he described as stingy, saying true leadership is measured by compassion, generosity, and service to the people rather than accumulation of wealth and power.
He urged politicians present to emulate Jirongo’s example, reminding them that public office offers an opportunity to uplift lives and leave a meaningful legacy for future generations nationwide.
Cyrus Jirongo, a former Lugari MP and businessman, was remembered as influential in national politics and deeply connected to grassroots communities across the country through decades of service.
Leaders from different regions attended the ceremony, highlighting Jirongo’s wide networks and the respect he commanded beyond party and regional boundaries within Kenya’s diverse political landscape today broadly.
The emotional atmosphere underscored public frustration with selfish leadership and a growing demand for leaders who prioritize humanity, generosity, and accountability in public service across the nation today.
As chants filled the air, the moment became a powerful reminder of the values many Kenyans expect from those entrusted with authority at every level of governance nationally.
Jirongo’s legacy, speakers said, will endure through stories of kindness, generosity, and courage that continue inspiring future leaders across Kenya and beyond for many years ahead.
