Dagoretti North Member of Parliament Beatrice Elachi is mourning the heartbreaking loss of her son, Elvis Murakana Namenya.
On March 25, the tragic news was shared by Kileleshwa Ward MCA Robert Alai, who offered his heartfelt condolences to the grieving family, recognizing the profound sorrow a parent feels when losing a child.
“Dear Beatrice Elachi, my deepest sympathies to you and your family on the heartbreaking loss of your son, Elvis,” Alai wrote.
“No parent should ever endure such pain. The community stands with you, and may you find solace in the love that surrounds you.”
Elvis, just one of Elachi’s four children, will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him. As the family navigates this unfathomable grief, messages of support and prayers are pouring in from across the nation—political leaders and citizens alike expressing their sorrow for the family’s loss.
Initial reports suggest that Elvis was involved in a tragic accident and spent days fighting for his life in an ICU at a Nairobi hospital, before succumbing to his injuries on the evening of March 25. While details surrounding the accident and cause of death remain scarce, the loss is felt deeply by all.
In a show of solidarity, President William Ruto shared a Bible verse to offer comfort during these trying moments, assuring the Elachi family of the nation’s support.
As the community grieves with Beatrice Elachi, we remember Elvis—a young life, now gone too soon. May his memory live on forever in the hearts of all who loved him.
