Every so often death strikes a blow that forces reflection, both about the fleeting nature of life and the need to plan for this grim reality.
The deaths of human rights champions Judy Thongori and Roseline Odede barely 10 days apart are such.
I have known Roseline and Judy for ages.
I served with Roseline in the Law Society Council when we were younger and when we all had hope in the transformation of Kenya into a vibrant constitutional democracy.
