Asim Madibo, a Kenyan politician and military commander, passed away on February 21, 2022 at the age of 67. Born in 1954 in Kenya's Rift Valley Province, Madibo served as a member of parliament for his home constituency for 17 years before becoming the governor of Western Province.

Madibo was known for his leadership and commitment to social justice, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. He was also instrumental in advocating for peace in the country and promoting reconciliation efforts between different ethnic groups.

In 2018, Madibo was arrested by the police after he was alleged to have participated in a coup attempt against President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration. The government claimed that Madibo had been involved in the coup, but no evidence was presented to support this claim.

On January 10, 2020, Madibo was shot dead while attending a funeral in Nairobi. According to eyewitness accounts, Madibo was shot from a distance by a masked gunman wearing a mask. Witnesses reported seeing multiple shots fired into the air and hearing a loud explosion.

The incident sparked widespread outrage and condemnation in Kenya, with many calling for justice for Madibo and other political figures who were killed or injured in the course of their work. The government has since launched investigations into the shooting and is seeking accountability for any wrongdoing.

In addition to his work as a politician and military commander, Madibo was also known for his involvement in various charitable causes and his support for the arts. He was a member of the National Council of Churches and had received numerous awards for his contributions to society.

As Asim Madibo, his legacy will be remembered not only for his political career and his work in public service, but also for his dedication to social justice and his unwavering commitment to peace and reconciliation in Kenya.
