    "content": "that Members have showered on him. I once was told by somebody I respect much that in life, never judge and say, so and so is a good person until he has come by a position of advantage and some wealth. If a man comes by fortune, a glamorous position or he is the Speaker of the National Assembly and he is your friend and he remains level-headed and perceives you the same way he used to perceive you before he reached that status, then you could say that he is a good person. That was the late Gerald Otieno Kajwang’. When he got the good news that he had been appointed a Cabinet Minister, he asked his wife for a dance. He did not tell us whether they put music on a record player or they tuned the radio on, but that was jubilation. That was short-lived. Even after that, the Otieno Kajwang’ we are mourning today remained a highly sagacious person. He was very down to earth. He remained true to his friends. If you went to Kenyatta Market you found him eating nyama choma with the very old friends he used to have before he became a Cabinet Minister. He came to upcountry for harambees and was a very simple person, simply dressed and remained true to himself. This is what we want people to know. He was a firm Christian. When I got this news in the morning, I got a reaction from my constituents. They told me that mapambano is gone. They said that they remember him in Muhoroni. When he was the Minister for Immigration and Registration of Persons, he took his predecessor there and tried to campaign for him. Because the predecessor’s time was up, the people shouted at him and Kajwang’ went round the corner and said that he was an offspring of ODM and he had found him in ODM. He changed the mood of the people."
