Molo MP Kuria Kimani mourned Kibera as an astute entrepreneur, who built a name by establishing a business empire from scratch, through grit and hard work.
Muchai was the founder of Mololine Sacco, a pioneer Matatu organisation that eventually revolutionised public service travel in Kenya.
The businessman, who owns several other businesses in Molo, Nakuru and Nairobi, advocated for sanity in the Matatu industry and was instrumental in the development of the cashless system of payment at Mololine.
Kibera was also a strong defender of the Matatu industry rights and also local issues affecting farmers and players in the timber industry in Molo.
Some of the initiatives he strongly advocated for include; better roads in Molo and rehabilitation of the Molo town sewer system. Muchai shunned opulence and lived a humble life despite being very wealthy.
