Former Huruma Ward MCA Lucy Chomba has been found dead in her house in West Indies Estate in Eldoret town, Uasin Gishu County.
Uasin Gishu County Police Commander Benjamin Mwanthi confirmed Chomba’s death on Tuesday 4 June and said investigations had been launched into the cause of the politician’s death.
The former MCA is reported to have gone to bed on Monday, June 3 night but did not wake up on Tuesday morning.
Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi sent condolences to Chomba’s family and the Huruma ward locals over the loss.
“I take this moment to convey my heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and people of Huruma Ward, Uasin Gishu County following the sudden demise of immediate former MCA Hon. Lucy Ng’endo Chomba. May God give strength to her family during this moment of grief. Poleni sana,” Sudi stated.
Chomba served as the Huruma ward MCA from 2020 to 2022 after the death of her husband Peter Chomba who was the then MCA but passed on during his second term.
Lucy however failed to retain the Huruma Ward seat during the 2022 general elections.
Her husband reportedly collapsed in the house during the COVID-19 pandemic and was pronounced dead at the Eldoret hospital.
