As Kenyans and the family of teacher and social media influencer Albert Ojwang prepare for his burial, Homa Bay Constituency MP Peter Kaluma has issued a warning to political leaders against hijacking the funeral for politicking.
In a bold statement on his X account, the MP emphasised that the occasion would be a solemn one, intended to honour the life of Ojwang, who hailed from Homa Bay, and not a platform for politicians to make statements or push personal agendas. "We will send off our son Albert Ojwang soon.
It will be our funeral to mourn and pay last respect to our son, not a forum for politics," Kaluma said firmly.
The MP also warned those who have taken advantage of the teacher's death for political mileage against attending the burial.
