Mr Mundela, 66, suffered a heart attack during a meeting and was taken to Nairobi Hospital where he died of cardiac arrest. Mr Tshisekedi was sworn in as President on January 24 last year at a historic event in which President Kenyatta was the only African Head of State in attendance. Mr Odinga also attended. Dr Matiang’i delivered President Kenyatta’s condolences to the family, relatives and friends of Mr Mundela. It seemed a tall order but, listening carefully to Mr Mundela and Mr Mwamba, I was instantly sold to the idea.”Both Dr Matiang'i and Dr Juma eulogised Mr Mundela as a pan-Africanist who was a strong bridge in the relationship between the two countries.
