"Hon Francis Munyua Waititu ‘Wakapay’ was a very dear and close friend. When I vied for the Gatundu South seat in the 2014 by-elections Wakapay was the only sitting MP to defy all odds to come out and openly campaign for me. Over the 7 years that we served together Juja and Gatundu South were sister constituencies. On the request of Wakapay i agreed that we extend the Gatundu-Mukinye- Juja road to Juja Farm. Rest in Peace my brother Wakapay," Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria posted on Facebook.
