Nominated Murang’a MCA Hon. Mark G. Wainaina has died after battling a severe pulmonary disease that caused both of his lungs to fail.
The flamboyant MCA, who had gained notoriety for his controversial remarks belittling his poor constituents, passed away in the ICU, just days after appealing to the public for blood donations and medical funds.
Wainaina, who had previously mocked the struggles of everyday Kenyans living in poverty, found himself in a position of desperation this week as he was forced to seek donations for his own medical expenses.
His call for support was met with a mixed reaction on social media, with many users turning to his past comments to highlight the irony of his situation.

Others noted the bitter irony that someone who had scorned the poor ended up needing their support in his final days.
The late MCA had organized a fundraising event for Friday, November 15, 2024, to help cover his medical costs, but sadly, he did not survive long enough to see the fundraiser take place.
