23 years ago today, Raila Odinga came in style to mourn his friend Michael Wamalwa Kijana and delivered bulls to our home in Kitale. Today, i lead members of my family, my party @DAP_Kenya, and the larger luhya family to Kang'o ka Jaramogi in Bondo to honor our departed hero. The Wamalwa family and the larger luhya family have had a long and deep history of friendship, good neigbouliness, and shared values and idiologies towards a better Kenya, which we commit carry on, even after loosing our hero
