Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho has said the late Homa Bay Senator Otieno Kajwang had a dream that one day Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) leader Raila Odinga will become president.
Speaking during Kajwang's commemoration, Joho said members of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) are determined to fight until his dream becomes a reality.
“Kajwang yearned for a Raila presidency and I can assure you that we are out to make this come to pass in 2017,” Joho said, as quoted by The Star.
The outspoken governor also urged the electorate to register as voters before next year's polls, to enable the former prime minister unseat President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto in 2017.
“We don’t want to see voter apathy during elections. We have to ensure Raila wins the presidency,” Joho added.
On his part, Raila hailed Kajwang, terming him as a strong and bold leader.
“Otieno was one of the greatest soldiers ODM and I had around. He was always there to energise our team for a noble cause,” said Raila.
“Kajwang’s tireless fight for the party made him receive a distinguished platinum award. Everyone should embrace his inspiring spirit,” he added.
