    "content": "On my own behalf and my family, and on behalf of the residents of Igembe Central, let me take this opportunity to pass my condolences to the people of Homa Bay and the family of hon. Otieno Kajwang’ for this great loss, which is also a great loss to our nation. Hon. Kajwang’ is a household name in Kenya especially because of his humour. Many people know him because of his Mapambano slogan, which even young people who did not know him used to enjoy whenever he was on stage. He was a crowd mover to the extent that even if the crowd was demoralised or dampened, he would rise to the occasion and wake them up. We were at the Bomas of Kenya when I first met him, planning an ODM rally. Everybody was asleep by around 2.00 a.m. but when he started singing, everybody stood up and started dancing. I found him a great crowd mover. It is sad that he passed on. It is unfortunate that we cannot do anything about it. We all know how we come to this world but only God knows how we leave it. Our legacies and the good things that we have been doing are what we leave behind. Let the good deeds of hon. Kajwang’ remain with us, so that we can emulate them. On the same token, I would like to call for tolerance amongst the membership of our party; ODM, especially amongst those who managed to become Members of Parliament even in areas where the party is totally unknown. The leadership of the party should know that their actions might be destroying the party, and not building it."
