Leaders lauded mourners for maintaining peace during final sendoff of the slain Kasipul Constituency MP Charles Ong'ondo Were even as they called for justice.
The MP was buried Friday at his rural home, Kachien village, in his constituency.
Homabay County Governor Gladys Wanga, who could not hide her joy after the successful ceremony, said, "We are peaceful, and we are dignified.
Some people thought that this place was going to be a war zone, but the people have dignified Sir Charles Ong'ondo Were." The governor said people had come in a sea of oranges, adding that as the national chair of the ODM party, "I am very happy." Governor Wanga, however, said they want to know the mastermind of the murder of Ong'ondo. "We want justice; the family wants to know what exactly happened to their father," she said.
