Former Transport and Water Principal Secretary Joseph Njoroge paid an emotional tribute to his mother who was buried in Gatundu South, Kibere village on Friday. She died on February 1, at the age of 96. Eng Njoroge said it was because of his mother, Ruth Njeri Njoroge, that he and his siblings made major achievements in life. “You brought us up, offered counsel to every one of us, provided us with the best care, showed us the way to participate in spiritual affairs, motivated us to seek God’s way with sustained prayers, songs of praise and participation in church works,” Njoroge said. “We owe our success and all we have to your wisdom and upbringing.”Their mother urged them to pursue education as they never tired to work on tea and coffee plantations.
