It is with deep sorrow and humble acceptance of God's will that I announce the passing on of my beloved father, Mzee Joseph Kipkoske Kenduiwa, who peacefully departed at the age of 84.
Our dad was a pillar of strength in the extended Baliach family, stemming from the Kapecherek Clan. He lived a life marked by discipline, wisdom, humility, and service to family and community. He leaves behind sons, daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren whose lives he greatly impacted.
As a musician, MC, and leader of Global Village and Hatua Moja Artiste Entertainment, I wish to sincerely thank fellow artistes, family members, friends, fans, and well-wishers for your prayers, visits, encouragement, and support, both at home and at Tenwek Hospital where he took his last breath.
We also appreciate the spiritual guidance and comfort received through the teachings of the Baha'i Faith, together with our Christian brothers and sisters, especially from the African Gospel Church (AGC).
The entire Baliach family is meeting at Longisa homewith special guidance by our elders and family leaders to deliberate on funeral arrangements and the way forward, including fundraising efforts. Further details, including the funeral date, will be communicated in due course.
May God bless you all for standing with us during this difficult time.
