Nyamira teaching fraternity has mourned an educationist, the late Yabesh Kambi, as an active man who supported education development in the region.
Led by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Assistant Treasurer Kennedy Nyamwanda, they said his demise has left a big gap in Borabu Constituency that will take a long time to fill.
“He was active in society initiating many developments in the sector of education and sports,” said Nyamwanda.
His brother Ronald Nyandoro confirmed that his elder brother collapsed and died aged 51, while he was at his law firm at Kitengela in Nairobi.
“My brother complained of headache and died within a short time while in the office,” he said.
He said that his brother, who was a lawyer and a great scholar, loved to see all children in the area go to school because he believed that education was the only sure way towards meaningful development.
His body was moved to Lee Funeral Home awaiting an autopsy.
The late Yabesh Nyandoro Kambi was born at Keginga village in Borabu Constituency, Nyamira County.
He went to Nyansiongo for his primary school education before proceeding to Menyenya SDA Secondary school for his Ordinary Level (O Level) education.
Yabesh later joined Sameta Boys High School for his Advanced Level education before proceeding to University of Nairobi to study Law.
He later joined University of Darsalaam from where he attained his Masters and Doctorate degrees in Law.
After that he continued serving the public in different capacities among them; being Chairman of Kisii County-based football team Shabana.
The late Yabesh leaves behind a widow and three children.
