Family, relatives and friends of accomplished Kenyan economist, Dr Geoffrey Mwau, are mourning the death of the revered financial expert who passed away at the Nairobi Hospital on Saturday, August 7, 2022.
Dr Mwau was a career Government economist who was the Economic Secretary at the National Treasury and served in several senior roles over the years, including as Director for Budget, Fiscal and Economic Affairs.
In a message of comfort and encouragement, outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta has described the late Mwau as a dedicated public servant who was deeply committed to the progress of Kenya’s economy and always worked hard to ensure the country thrives.
He further noted that Dr Mwau’s professional contribution helped his administration to successfully implement most of the “Big Four” priority projects which have both short-term and long-term positive effects on the country’s economic growth.
“I highly appreciate the exemplary service Dr Mwau rendered to our country during his many years of distinguished public service. His vast knowledge of economic matters ensured that Kenya pursued policies conducive to our economy’s growth and sustainability.
We pray to God to grant fortitude and strength to Dr Mwau’s family as they come to terms with his demise.
