Politicians from the Jubilee and ODM wing have unanimously united behind fallen NASA strategist Oeri Tumbo who is set to be laid to rest on Friday.
For two weeks now, ODM and Jubilee politicians have been reading from the same script, heaping praises to Prof Oeri, a former Principal for University of Nairobi Cheromo Campus.
The ODM brigade led by Kisii Governor James Ongwae, his Nyamira counterpart John Nyagarama and a host of elected leaders hailed Oeri as a true 'democratic soldier'.
On the other side, Majority Deputy Leader Jimmy Angwenyi labelled Oeri a non partisan scholar who was respected from both sides of political decide.
ODM leader Raila Odinga, who buried hatchet with his political nemesis Uhuru Kenyatta, is set to lead mourners on Friday in a funeral that could be eclipsed by politics.
Until his death, the deceased, served as Raila's political adviser and is an uncle to Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyonka.
