Parliament will cater for morgue fees, airlifting of the body, and travel costs for the family of Kasipul MP Ong'ondo Were, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has said.
Speaking at the late MP's home in Karen on Tuesday, May 6, Wetangula noted that the gesture is Parliament's way of giving their colleague a befitting sendoff. "We will be there for the family so they know that when they donated a husband and father to Parliament, he made a difference to other people's lives," Wetang'ula said.
Wetang'ula further condemned the killing, terming it a 'cowardly act' and urged swift action from the criminal justice system. "This is an unfortunate and heinous act.
It must be met with the full force of the law.
