Ida Odinga has asked the mother of the late Kibra Member of Parliament Kenneth Okoth to stand strong during this moment of trial.
Speaking at the Moi Girls High Schoo on Thursday, Ida said that she understands the pain Okoth's mother has been going through since she also lost her son Fidel Odinga.
Ida reminded Okoth's mother to remain calm and perseverant after the court stopped plans to cremate the late MP following a family feud over paternity related issues. “I want to talk specifically to Mama Ken. I know at a time like this, people talk about a lot of things but the pain that mama is going through is unparalleled. The pain that Monica is going through is unparalleled. There are so many things, the pain that the brothers are going through of course he had two brothers and one sister cannot be compared to anything else, of course, they know it. May God give you the strength at this particular time as we prepare to lay Ken to rest," she said in part.Other leaders also paid their tribute to the deceased describing him as someone who fought so hard to make the world a better place for humankind. The family’s burial arrangements have been halted pending a court case over paternity issues. Okoth died after a long battle with cancer.
