North Mugirango legislator Charles Geni has given a special tribute to former Homabay senator Otieno Kajwang’ a head of his second anniversary slated on Monday.
Kajwang, who died two years ago, was one of the fiercest defenders of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga both in and out of parliament.
In a telephone conversation with the reporter on Saturday, Geni hailed the former Mbita MP’s courage of passionately defending the Orange party.
“As ODM family we still miss him so much. He was a much focused man and ever present in critical issues affecting the country. From Luo-Nyanza, he played a key role by acting as Raila odinga’s deputy hence easing pressure,” he said.
Geni added: “as a party, we are trying to put, mechanisms to ensure that Odinga wins 2017 polls. He always defended the party’s position everywhere and would have been a typical example of loyal members.”
ODM leader Raila Odinga is expected to be among key leaders in Kajwang’s commemoration at Mbita in South Nyanza on Monday.
