Muthomi Njuki, the Tharaka Nithi County Governor, confirmed the mogul’s death and led his administration and the entire Tharaka Nithi fraternity in expressing their sorrow.

“On my own behalf and that of my government of Tharaka Nithi, I am quite saddened by the sudden death of my long-time friend, Francis Kiambi Matanka.

As a county and country, we have lost an industrious, kind, focused hard working investor and a son of our soil whose void may take very many years to fill.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.”

Muthomi saw Matanka as a forward-thinking individual with a social heart, with whom no one could meet without learning anything. He also expressed gratitude for everything he has done for Tharaka Nithi and the general public.

The death of Francis Kiambi Matanka has left the community in mourning. Matanka’s lifeless body was discovered at his Nairobi house early that morning on January 9. The late Kiambi was discovered dead in his bedroom after a brief dispute with his wife Mary Waigwe Muthoni about a Sh2 billion debt that he wanted her to guarantee.

Ms. Waigwe Muthini informed police that she and her husband returned home together around midnight after spending some time at an entertainment venue.

The couple allegedly fought when the woman refused to be her husband’s guarantor for a Sh2 billion loan he was seeking to start a business.

They proceeded to separate bedrooms to sleep after their disagreement, but the 50-year-old politician-turned-businessman was subsequently discovered dead with vomit on his nightstand.

Kiambi’s body was taken to Lee Funeral Home while police began their investigation.

The cause of his death has not yet been revealed. According to reports, police are currently investigating the matter.

According to the police report,

“They each spent the night in different rooms and the deceased never woke up since then, but could be heard snoring throughout the day and night and had vomited in his bedroom. It was until today at around 0600hrs when she went to check on the deceased and she found him lying dead on his bed with some vomits beside the bed.”

“They called a doctor from the Karen hospital who confirmed the death at around 0902 hrs.”
