Earlier tributes
On February 19, 2025, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula led a delegation of over 35 Members of Parliament in paying their last respects to the late MP at his residence in Nairobi.
In a tribute shared on his X account, Wetang’ula remembered Injendi as a dedicated leader who prioritized his parliamentary duties and his faith.
“Hon. Malulu was a close friend and a respected legislator who was committed to Parliamentary work. I mourn a man who prioritized respect and dignity and was not shy about his Catholic faith,” Wetang’ula wrote.
The Speaker further acknowledged Injendi, who served as the Vice Chairman of the Education Committee, for his significant contributions to Kenya’s education sector.
Wetang’ula praised the late MP’s role as a unifying figure in Parliament, emphasizing his support for initiatives aimed at fostering national unity.
