"Mzee has not only been a friend and confidant but also a pillar and shining light upon which our families got illumination from. My deepest sympathy goes out to my wife Mrs. Caroline Ayietsa Malalah and the entire Ayietsa's family during this difficult moment as we come to terms with God's will."
He added: "May the grace of our good Lord comfort and strengthen us during this tragic moment as put down in Matthew 5:4. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Rest in peace papa."
