National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula also mourned the former Kimilili legislator as a champion for the needs of his community who advocated for development and social justice.

"It is with profound sorrow and sadness that I express my condolences on the passing of Hon. Suleiman Murunga, former MP for Kimilili.
