Kitui County and the entire nation have indeed lost a true son of the soil and a diligent spiritual leader, whose impact and legacy will be remembered for generations to come,” said Governor Malombe.
Bishop Kivunzi passed away on July 28, 2024, at the age of 82, after suffering a massive heart attack. He is survived by his widow, Peninnah Nzavi Mwalwa, his son, Kivunzi Musili, and two grandchildren.
