Ababu Namwamba's Partner Mourns Bodyguard Who Served Family for 18 Years: "We Will Miss You"
His partner, Amy Lucia, shared a touching message after learning of the aide's demise.
She recalled the bond he had with the kids and how he had called her a week before his passing.
He reassured her that he would get well and get back to work. She wrote:
"Words cannot fully express the sadness we feel. You were more than just a personal aide. Rotich, you were family. You protected us and the children with such care, and they adored you. We all did. Last week, you called: 'Madam, my doctor told me I'm faring on so well. Two more weeks, then I get back to work.' You were so promising, so full of life. 'How is my boss doing? How are the children?'"
Lucia thanked him for his dedication to the family and noted that they would miss him.
"Thank you for your unwavering dedication, your quiet strength, and your beautiful spirit. We will miss you deeply, but your legacy will live on in our hearts and in the stories we will continue to tell about the wonderful man you were," she added.
The former CS referred to him as a cherished brother and true friend who was loyal.

He recalled how, over the 18 years of service, they had travelled the world together and raised their children.
"For eighteen years, Corporal Jonah Kemboi Rotich has been more than just a trusted security aide to me. He has been a cherished brother and a true friend. Family in every sense. Professional yet humane, humble yet firm, loyal and honest beyond a morsel of doubt, he has been an ever present around me in all situations. We have worked. We have travelled the world. We have dreamt. We have raised our children. We have built one large family. And worshipped our one true God, I as a committed Catholic, him a dedicated Seventh Day Adventist," he wrote.
Ababu said that he and his family felt safe in the presence of the late aide.
The former CS emphasised that their connection was built on mutual trust rather than tribal divisions.
The politician argued for a more inclusive nation, where individuals can feel at home beyond the constraints of ethnic profiling.
The former CS revealed that he was battling multiple health challenges and would be laid to rest on June 3.
The politician and his partner have a son together.
Lucia penned a touching message in December for his birthday.
She expressed her gratitude for Ababu and thanked the politician for being a great partner.
