MP Caleb Hamisi urges Omondi’s father to keep off politicians, demand justice for son’s death
In a statement on his social handles, the ODM legislator claimed the move by politicians is aimed at calming the rage of Kenyans
Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Hamisi has urged the late Albert Omondi Ojwang’s Dad, Meshack Opiyo, to keep off the media and politicians’ hours after receiving a donation from President William Ruto.
In a statement on his social handles, the ODM legislator claimed the move by politicians is aimed at calming the rage of Kenyans.
“To Albert Ojwang’s father, avoid availing yourself to political machinations, political vultures, and state-sponsored narratives aimed at calming the rage of Kenyans,” Hamisi stated.
The MP warned the father that no amount of financial assistance or promises by people or the government will compensate for the pain he has undergone or restore the life of his deceased son.
“No amount of money, promises, jobs, houses, or other lies can return your son to this world. You loved your son. Mourn him and keep off the media and politicians, do this for the respect of your son,” he said.
Yesterday, Homa Bay governor Gladys Wanga confirmed having received a Sh2 million donation from President William Ruto to the family of the deceased teacher and blogger.
She added that the president called the father of the deceased, offering his condolence message, and thereafter, the cash donation.
“I want to thank the President for taking my son Albert as his son and feeling the pain. So many people have died, and he has decided to take the loss as his own and called me to send his condolences,” Governor Wanga said.
“The president called Ojwang’s father after I looked for the number and gave it to him. He said his sorry as a parent who feels the pain. He has also sent me here today with Sh2million,” she added.
Wanga also announced that she would be constructing a house for Ojwang’s father.
“Albert would have built a house for the father. I will build a 2-bedroom house for Mzee at the cost of Ksh1.5 million,” she stated.
Albert’s Dad expressed gratitude to Ruto for empathising with his family, noting that the Head of State took his son’s death as a personal loss, a move netizens have burst him for.
