“To her family to which she was deeply committed, I offer prayers and solidarity at this moment of grief. It has fallen on the people of Homa Bay County to be preparing to choose a new leader to replace the one they buried only a few months ago while they prepare to bury the one who replaced him in acting capacity,” he said, referring to the late Senator Otieno Kajwang who was the party chairman in the county.
Odinga appealed to Homa Bay residents to take this challenge and pain in stride and stay calm and focused.
