Chief of Staff Hon. Gideon Kimathi, this evening led a delegation of County officials to console and condole with the family of Simon Kobia, the former Director of Communication at Meru County Government, who were involved in a road accident at the notorious Subuiga-Matunda stretch on Subuiga-Isiolo highway two weeks ago, where four army officers from the School Infantry died on the spot, and Mr. Kobia's family including his wife and their two children sustained injuries.

The family had since been receiving treatment after the accident, at Kiirua Mission Hospital, but unfortunately, lost their beloved child who succumbed to the injuries.

Hon. Kimathi delivered the Government’s message of condolences to the family, and prayed for God’s graces, endurance, comfort and speedy recovery for Mr. Kobia, his wife and the remaining child as they continue recuperating, pledging continued support of the County Government through this difficult time.

He was accompanied by North Imenti Sub County Admin Anderson Kathendu, Director of Protocol Mwirigi Muriungi, Director of Administration at the Governor’s Office Christine Makena, Communication Director Purity Nkirote and other top County Government officials.
