Mathew Kimani, who served as the Sub-County Director for Gathanji Sub-county in Nyandarua County, made significant contributions to the TSC and the education sector.
His dedication and leadership will be greatly missed. According to National Chairman of TSC Sub County Directors Bernard Orwasa, Director Mathew Kimani had been sick for a while, and late last year, he was flown out to India for specialized treatment after being diagnosed with cancer.
He returned to the country about one month ago and has been in and out of hospitals since then, continuing with his medication.
