Charles Wanyoike Rubia is dead. Rubia was the first African mayor of the then Nairobi City Council before he joined Parliament, where he rose to the Cabinet. President Uhuru Kenyatta sent condolences to the family. ODM leader Raila Odinga also sent condolences to the family. My condolences go out to his family at this difficult moment and may his soul rest in Eternal Peace."
