Memorial Service for Mr. Onyango Sumba
The late Onyango Sumba was accorded a princely memorial service yesterday, at the fully-packed Holy Family Basilica in Nairobi. Assistant Minister Oburu Odinga was among those who attended. The cortege left Nairobi this morning heading to Sumba’s home in Alego, and arrived in Kericho around 14:00. Dr. Rosemary Onyango (Sumba’s ex-wife) and their sons, Pinto and Odhiambo, are traveling in the funeral procession consisting of many mourners.
Those who will represent Stockholm at the burial tomorrow include, Mr. Waore Diang’a (formerly exiled in Sweden), Ms. Rose Adero, Dr. Wycliffe Odiwuor, and Mr. Thomas Opande. The Prime Minister, Raila Odinga, will also attend the burial.
