Former Kirinyaga Senator Daniel Karaba dies

Governor Anne Waiguru announced Karaba’s demise on Monday, describing him as a “distinguished son of Kirinyaga whose life was defined by service, humility, and a deep commitment to education and leadership. 

Before his parliamentary stint, Karaba was a teacher who grew to become a school principal and education leader. 

“Mwalimu Karaba built a remarkable career as a teacher, principal, and education leader before serving as a two-term Member of Parliament for Kirinyaga Central and later as Senator,” said governor Waiguru. 

After leaving his teaching job at Highway Secondary school in 2002, Karaba was elected Member of Parliament for Kirinyaga Central in 2003. 

In 2013, he was elected the first Senator of Kirinyaga County, a position he lost to Charles Kibiru in the 2017 General Elections.
