Gerald Otieno Kajwang’ and the people of Mbita Constituency whom he represented in Parliament from 1997 to 2013 and Homa Bay County where he has been serving as . Hon. Speaker, I knew hon. Kajwang’ between 1997 and 1998 when we were elected to this House. The first time I met him I found him to be a very friendly gentleman. In fact, I had a relative who had a case in court and he volunteered to go and help. It was somebody who had died and there was a problem of getting the body removed so that it could be buried. All this time, I have found hon. Kajwang’ to be very friendly, courageous and a humorous person, the way my colleagues have said. I think it became much clearer when we got to this time of the second liberation when there was a clear division involving the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party and the Party of National Unity (PNU).

He was a very brilliant leader who knew what to do The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
