(Dr.) Oginga","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":194,"legal_name":"Oburu Ngona Odinga","slug":"oburu-odinga"},"content":"Let me talk about my friend, the late hon. Kijana Wamalwa who became my friend when he was a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. We became close friends and when multi-partyism was introduced in the country, I remember there was FORD, of which he was one of the founders. He also participated when FORD split into two, FORD-Asili and FORD(K). He was persistent and became the second Vice-Chairman of FORD(K) after hon. Osogo refused to take up the position. Therefore, hon. Wamalwa became the Vice-Chairman of my late father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, who was the chairman of the party while Paul Muite became the First Vice-Chairman of the party."}
