Chaos, heartbreak, and disbelief erupted online yesterday as Lorna, a close ally of the late Cyrus Jirongo, poured her grief on Facebook.
“For the first time since I knew you, I have called you five times… and my calls went unanswered! My WhatsApp messages stayed unread for an hour… and then I wake up to hear you are gone? Is this real?” she cried.
Her post, raw and emotional, revealed a world of broken plans and dashed dreams. “Where do I start from, Mhesh? Hapa Busia, mimi nitaambia watu nini jameni?” she demanded, her words a mix of sorrow and confusion.
Lorna revealed how Jirongo had promised to guide her political career, striking deals and supporting her ambitions. Now, she faces uncertainty alone.
“You promised to back me through my journey… was it all just a nightmare?” she asked, tears visible in every line.
