Family, friends and colleagues of the late Carol Wayua on Tuesday paid tribute to her during a memorial service held at the Mombasa Pentecostal Church.
Carol is one of the four people attached to Mvita MP's office Abdulswamad Nassir who perished in a road accident after the car they were travelling in rolled following a tyre burst between Koreni and Milihoi along the Lamu-Witu-Garsen road last week on Saturday.
She had just began working for Nassir in April this year after graduating with a bachelor's degree in Journalism from Daystar University in 2020.
Nassir described her death as a huge blow to his team as he paid tribute to her describing her as an individual who was filled with humility and love for others.
"Her untimely death is a major blow to me and my team, Carol was a dedicated and humble human being and staff, she always stood out in the team," said Nassir.
Nassir remembered all the advices Caro used to give her especially emphasizing on the importance of showing love to the people who hated him.
"She used to advise me not to hate those who hate me but rather show them love because we shall need to serve them when I become governor next year," said Nassir.
"She constantly reminded me not to worry but focus on my agenda for the people whenever the political heat was getting too much," added a teary Nassir
Carol's family and friends described her as a loving, ambitious and hardworking girl.
"You were always a bright intelligent and organized girl, a perfectionist in everything you did. I was and still am very proud of you," said her grandmother.
"You laughter was so contagious, I can still hear it. We shared heart-to-heart moments, distance meant nothing," said her US based aunt Linda Aluoch who flew in for her burial.
"She was beautiful and intelligent, she also had a sense of humor. Carol died doing what she loved best, that is Journalism and Politics," said her aunt Rose.
Her colleagues and friends described her as a team player and a person who dedicated her life to spread love and joy to all those who were around her.
"Carol had shared alot of love with colleagues in school, she was a joy to be around. She loved to make people laugh and she loved to spread joy," said Ruth Murutu, her former colleague at Daystar University.
"Thank you Carol for being the best cheerleader and the most genuine friend that anyone could have asked for, rest in eternal peace my friend," said Lorraine Chebet.
Her final funeral service will be held on Wednesday at the Ginnery Multipurpose Hall before she is laid to rest at her rural home in Kitui.
