The death of Alex Ole Magelo has caught many by surprise with the Nairobi County Assembly mourning its first Speaker. To many MCAs, the late Magelo was a father figure, a nobleman and a no-nonsense Speaker who will be missed dearly. To Minority Whip Peter Imwatok, Magelo was a great man and a father to many young MCAs as he would refer to them as sons and daughters. Majority Whip Paul Kados said the late Magelo never allowed fights in the assembly and treated both MCAs from Cord and TNA equally. Even after leaving the assembly, the late Speaker was from time to time spotted outside City hall and in his favourite CBD restaurant, CJ’s.
