Former Kirinyaga Senator Daniel Karaba has passed on.
In announcing Karaba's passing on Monday 23rd March 2026, Governor Anne Waiguru called him a "distinguished son of Kirinyaga whose life was defined by service, humility, and a deep commitment to education and leadership."
Karaba was a teacher before serving in parliament. He then rose to the position of principal and education leader.
Governor Waiguru stated, "Mwalimu Karaba built a remarkable career as a teacher, principal, and education leader before serving as a two-term Member of Parliament for Kirinyaga Central and later as Senator."
Karaba left his position as a teacher at Highway Secondary School in 2002, and in 2003 he was chosen to represent Kirinyaga Central in parliament.
In 2013, he was elected the first Senator of Kirinyaga County, a position he lost to Charles Kibiru in the 2017 General Elections.
