Salasya pays tribute to Brian Chira and shares the lessons he took away from the late TikToker

Mumias East Member of Parliament (MP) Peter Salasya has expressed his deep admiration for the late TikToker Brian Chira.

Salasya was among the dignitaries present at Brian Chira’s burial held in Githunguri on Tuesday, March 26, 2024. In his address to the mourners, Salasya expressed profound sadness over the loss of the vibrant TikToker, describing him as a significant source of inspiration for the younger generation.

“Chira has been a tremendous inspiration to the youth, and as I look around, there’s not a single politician present. The influence my brother had on the younger generation is unbelievable. I can’t believe my eyes seeing the turnout of the youth here today,” Salasya remarked.

Salasya revealed that he was a keen follower of Chira and admired his command of the English language. He admitted to postponing a trip to Mombasa in order to attend the burial, emphasizing how much he valued Chira’s ability to express himself eloquently.

“I postponed my trip to Mombasa because I wanted to be here. Brian was truly inspirational. His proficiency in English and his expressive mannerisms were remarkable. I’ve learned a lot from him, and that’s why I felt compelled to attend today,” Salasya stated.

Additionally, Salasya contributed Ksh40,000 towards financial assistance for Chira’s grandmother and pledged to collaborate with the area MP, Gathoni Wamuchomba, to provide further support.

“I pray for his soul to rest in peace, and I want to assure his grandmother that as an MP, I will work together with Wamuchomba to see how we can offer more assistance. I’m leaving a contribution of forty thousand which I hope will be of help,” Salasya affirmed.

TikToker Brian Chira was laid to rest in Ingitei village, Githunguri, located in Kiambu County, with his body retrieved from Kenyatta University mortuary earlier that day.
