"He was instrumental in improving the level of education in the Kuria sub-county and the larger Migori county and also led from the front in preaching for peace among the clans forming the Kuria community," said Marwa.

He said the death was a big blow to the nation and the Kuria community as he described the deceased as a selfless leader who served all without discrimination.

Marwa also said Mahanga helped in building many churches in both Kuria East and West constituencies and loved reading the Bible.

A former CEC for Education, Culture, Youth and Sports at the Migori County Maneno Mwikwabe described the late former deputy governor as a leader who was loyal to his superiors wherever he served even if he had different opinions or ideologies with them.

"He was too obedient and he never showed him any disrespect or signs of undercutting him even if they shared different opinions or were from different party affiliations," said Mwikwabe.

The body of the late Mahanga will leave Lee Funeral Home on Wednesday for his home in Kuria.
