Kiuna had battled multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, since 2018, however, in December 2023, he declared himself cancer-free after a year-long treatment in the United States, but his condition remained incurable. He died on Tuesday, July 9, at a hospital in Nairobi.
JCC released a statement which read:
“It is with heartfelt condolences that today we announce the passing of our beloved Bishop Allan Kiuna. Bishop Allan Kiuna…was an extraordinary man who touched the lives of many and had a great passion for ministering not only locally but globally.
“His unwavering faith, compassion, and dedication to the church and community have left an indelible mark on all who knew him. He was not only a spiritual leader but also a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend.”
Following the news of his passing, President William Ruto paid tribute to the bishop stating, “To his wife, Rev Kathy Kiuna, and family, we stand with you in this time of grief and mourning, and pray that you find the courage to persevere through this trying period. May he rest in peace.”
