“It is with deep sorrow that I announce the passing of my elder brother, Mr. James Mukhwana Wetang’ula.
A retired teacher of great humility, discipline, and wisdom, James touched many lives.
He was the firstborn son of Mzee Dominic Khaemba Wetang’ula and the late Mama Anna Wetang’ula; twin brother to Virginia Mulongo Sikhoya; and a loving brother to Dorothy Watila, Mary Ongamo, Scolastica Opemo, Hon. Tim Wanyonyi, Fred Wetang’ula, Charles Wetang’ula, myself, and our entire family.
James was a devoted father, mentor, and a pillar in our community. His legacy as an educator and family man remains firmly in our hearts.
We kindly ask for your prayers and support as we mourn his passing and honour his life.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.” Speaker Moses Wetangula announced through his Facebook page.
Westland member of parliament Hon Timothy Wanyonyi also took his time to mourn his brother through his Facebook page.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of my elder brother, Mwalimu James Mukhwana Wetang’ula.
As a family, it is painful and deeply unsettling, but we remain grateful to God for the gift of his life. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
You fought your battles with courage, you ran your race with honour, and you leave behind a legacy that will continue to guide us.
May your soul find everlasting peace until we meet again.
Rest well, my brother. #RIP” Hon Timothy Wanyonyi.
