It saddens and bears heavily on me to convey our heart-felt condolences to Steven Nyagah’s family, friends and fellow activists, after his tragic demise. On behalf of all NO-GUNS-Petitioners and members, we would also like to extend our warmest kindness to Ghetto Film Trust, Koch Fm and Indymedia Kenya where the late worked so tirelessly until his untimely death.
Commonly known as ‘Nyash,’ Nyagah will always remain in the frames of our memories, his praise will be spoken by the lips of many friends and associates alike. In the last decade or so, I have had interaction and cooperated with him he has been the peacemaker, the voice of integration and in most occasions than least, been the joyful company one can wish for.
His contributions towards equal rights and democratic space within the politics of his constituency can only speak volumes if not in volume. His loving family will probably miss him the most, we only pray that they find strength to pass through this trying time.
NO-GUNS-TO-TOWN has lost a visionary leader, an astute facilitator, a dedicated funds mobilizer and most importantly a believer at disarm. Our organization feels robbed of a very valuable and dear person, a confidant and a significant office to our activities. May God rest his soul in immortal peace.
