KNUT in tears over the death of Stanley Mutai.
It is a sad day for KNUT and the entire teaching fraternity due to the death of Stanley Mutai, a former Vice-chairman of the teachers’ union. Sources reveal that the unionist succumbed to cancer while receiving treatment at Nairobi Hospital.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has received a double tragedy, with Stanley being the second unionist to succumb to cancer after the death of John Wesonga, who also died while receiving treatment. Sources reveal that Mr. Stanley was prepared for his death as he, on many occasions, had dreamt about his death even before his cancer diagnosis in July this year.
One an describe the former KNUT official as a lucky man since he was elected into office while still in a hospital bed fighting for his life due to COVID-19.
During his cancer treatment, he was flown to India for advanced treatment. However, his health status continued to deteriorate even after his return, and he was again readmitted to Nairobi Hospital barely a week after his return to the country.
Mr. Stanley receives praise as a committed leader who has served the people of Kericho for a long time. Collins Oyuu, the current KNUT secretary general, confirmed the news of the death of Mutai.
Sources privy to this information reveal that the KNUT ex-official breathed his last at 1:37 p.m. on Sunday, with the family maintaining a high level of secrecy until today when his close associates received the information.
His neighbours and friends describe Mutai as a man who loved his family and was friendly to all. They portray him as a man who is unafraid to speak the truth regardless of the circumstances. Throughout his tenure at the teachers union, he fought tirelessly for the rights of teachers and was focused on promoting and improving the welfare of his followers.
