• Mogotio MP Reuben Kiborek's brother-in-law tragically died in a road accident on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway
• Kiborek shared a heartfelt Facebook post about the sacredness of tears and mourning the loss of young Nelson Mandela
• Kiborek cancelled a women empowerment harambee event in his constituency to join his family in grieving the loss.

Mogotio Member of Parliament (MP) Reuben Kiborek's family has been thrown into mourning after his brother-in-law died in an accident on the Nairobi-Nakuru Highway on July 28.

Mandela was a humble young man

While mourning the young Nelson Mandela in a Facebook post, Kiborek said there is a sacredness in tears, and they are not marks of weakness but of power.

"They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love," he added.

"We’ve been trying hard to come to terms with the unfortunate news; Nelson was a fine, humble, gentleman full of life. Brother Mandela, this one is too painful to accept. Rest well bro, may God accept your soul in eternal," he said.

Given the new development, Kiborek had to cancel a Saturday, July 29, women empowerment Harambee in his constituency.

"To my beautiful mothers of Mogotio, with all humility allow us to postpone to a later date in August. Permit my wife and I to join the family in grieving the loss; remember us in prayers too. Thank you," he said.

Emotional appreciation from head girl

In another story, a young girl from Kimngorom Girls High School touched the lawmaker's heart with her appreciation speech.

Kiborek had offered to pay the girl's school fees, and the young lady responded with a powerful speech that left the politician in tears.

The charismatic leader handed the school's head girl KSh 10,000 for school fees and also added some cash for pocket money.

"I have little to share with you, but may the Lord bless you. Every morning when I wake up, I will remember you and the Lord is going to perform that which you pray for," the girl said in a video shared by Citizen TV.
