RIP: MP Peter Kaluma Announces the Death of His Brother, Corporal Kenneth Aluma

Homa Bay Town Member of Parliament Peter Kaluma is mourning the death of his brother, Corporal Kenneth Otieno Aluma, a serving police officer who died after a prolonged battle with cancer.

The legislator announced the sad news on Friday, October 23, 2026, prompting an outpouring of condolences from Kenyans who sympathised with him and his family during the difficult period.

According to reports, Corporal Aluma passed away at Texas Cancer Hospital in Nairobi, where he had been receiving treatment for cancer. His death has left his family and loved ones grieving the loss of a man remembered for his discipline, humility and commitment to public service.

Aluma served in the Border Police Unit before being transferred to the Special Guarding Brigade. He was subsequently attached to the Asset Recovery Unit in Nairobi, where he continued serving the country in a security-related role.

In his tribute, Kaluma remembered his late brother as a dedicated officer who defended the nation while maintaining a humble character. The lawmaker highlighted his brother’s strength, respect for authority and obedience, qualities that defined his approach to duty and personal relationships.

The MP also reflected on the painful coincidence surrounding the loss, noting that his brother died in October, the same month in which their father passed away. The timing has added another layer of sorrow for the family, which is once again confronted with the pain of losing a close relative during a month associated with an earlier bereavement.

Following the announcement, Kenyans took to social media to express their sympathy and offer words of encouragement to Kaluma and his family. Some praised the late officer for his discipline and bravery, while others sent prayers for comfort and strength as his relatives come to terms with the loss.

Corporal Aluma’s death has also highlighted the sacrifices made by police officers who dedicate their lives to protecting the country. Their responsibilities often demand courage, discipline and commitment, sometimes while facing personal challenges.

For Kaluma and his family, however, the loss remains deeply personal as they mourn a brother, relative and loved one whose absence will be felt for years to come.

May Corporal Kenneth Otieno Aluma rest in eternal peace, and may his family find the strength to endure this painful loss.
