The situation escalated when Alai, appearing enraged, allegedly drew his pistol, cocked it and pointed it at Owino before attempting to pull the trigger several times in quick succession.

Did you know that the MP for Karachuonyo Constituency in Homa Bay County, Adipo Okuome, lost elections for 37 straight years—and still refused to quit?
From 1980, he ran for Parliament again and again. He lost every single time. No shortcuts. No sympathy votes. Just loss after loss. Then in 2017, at the age of 81, he finally won.
Today he is 87 years old, and he says he intends to serve until he is 94.
Now pause and reflect.
Some people quit at 40 because one business failed. One election didn’t go their way. One relationship broke. One plan stalled. One year was hard.
That’s not exhaustion. That’s impatience.
Life rewards stamina, not speed. Consistency outlives talent. Endurance humiliates luck.
So stand up. Dust yourself off. Wake yourself up.
And if necessary—give yourself two hot slaps and get back in the game.
Because quitting early is the most expensive mistake you can make.
