Wife of the late William Ole Ntimama dies 5 years after husband's death

President Uhuru Kenyatta has sent a message of condolence to the family, relatives and friends of Dorcas Pedelai Ntimama who died Friday night at a Nairobi hospital.

Mrs Ntimama was the wife of the late Cabinet Minister William Ole Ntimama who died in September 2016.

In his message of comfort and encouragement, President Kenyatta described the late Dorcas Ntimama as a gracious woman who worked tirelessly for the wellbeing of the society.

The President said Dorcas always built strong bonds of friendship, which ensured harmony and peace in her community.

"It is heartbreaking that we've lost Mama Dorcas. As a nation, we are grateful for her many years of service to Kenya especially in Narok where, with her late husband the Hon Ole Ntimama, they offered leadership and service to the community for many years.

"For those of us that interacted with Mama Dorcas, we shall miss her maternal demeanor and welcoming smile that made everyone around her comfortable,” read the President’s message.

President Kenyatta prayed to God to grant the family fortitude and grace to bear the loss of their matriarch.

“Losing a parent is never easy, may you find solace in the lovely memories you shared with your dear mother and may she rest in eternal peace,” the President condoled with the Ntimama family.

On January 31st 2020, Ntimama’s daughter Vivian succumbed to a heart attack at her home.

Vivian's sister, Lydia Ntimama, told the publication that the deceased was preparing to go to work but collapsed while taking a shower.
