Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has called for peace and a united nation as he mourned the late Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama.
The ODM Party leader sang a Luo dirge and chanted, '
Jowi! Jowi!' described the fallen governor as a fierce lion.
Jowi is Dholuo for buffalo, in this case referring to the stature of the fallen man of repute.
“We have lost a brave friend, comrade in arms… He was a man of few words and loved development,” he said.
The ODM leader was also quick to remind Kenyans to support the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) which he said is aimed at uniting Kenyans.
