Grief and tribute marked the burial of former Mbita Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Morris Kyalo as leaders, police officers and residents gathered at his home in Iviani village to pay their last respects.
Kyalo died following a road accident involving his personal car, bringing to an end the career of an officer many described as dedicated and dependable.
A large delegation from Homa Bay County, where Kyalo served, travelled to Makueni to mourn their colleague. The delegation was led by Suba North Member of Parliament Millie Odhiambo.
Odhiambo described the late officer as hardworking and committed to public service. She said Kyalo served the people of Homa Bay with dedication and professionalism, helping strengthen security in the county.
The MP also praised the unity shown by police officers from different communities who came together to honour their colleague, urging the country to emulate such cohesion beyond tribal divisions.
Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. urged the bereaved family to remain united as they cope with the loss and assured them of the county government’s support.
Commenting on the current political situation, particularly on ODM, the governor expressed concern over divisions within the Party ,saying the wrangles were regrettable given the party’s role during critical moments in the country’s political history.
Police officers who worked with Kyalo remembered him as a disciplined and committed leader whose service left a lasting mark on the communities he protected.
