Former Kuria East MP Shadrack Roger Mwita Manga is dead.

The former Kenya African National Union (KANU) MP passed on late on the evening of March 25, 2021.

President Uhuru Kenyatta led the nation in mourning the loss, eulogizing the former legislator as a "dependable steward and defender of public interest".

“I remember his commitment and devotion in creating a better environment for our people to participate in economic development when he was a member of Parliamentary Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Indeed, he was a focused and committed public servant who will be remembered for his wise counsel and steadfast leadership.

"We have lost a brave leader whose contribution to the country’s economic growth will be remembered for generations to come," President Kenyatta stated.
