Raila Mourns the death of Chairman Makabong’o: In a statement on Tuesday, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday condoled with the family and friends of Migori ODM Chairperson Philip Makabong’o.
He eulogised the deceased as a courageous and determined individual who was dedicated to serving in his orange democratic movement position.
He further pledged to stand with the family and support them in anyway, during this tough time.
Raila wrote,”The party leadership notes with deep appreciation, courage and determination with which Mr Makabong’o served ODM in Migori, sometimes against great odds. Mr Odinga assures the family of his friendship and support at this difficult time,”
“He further appeals to the county party leadership to stand with and support the family as they prepare to lay Mr. Makabong’o to rest,” he added.
This comes a day after the orange democratic movement announced his death. However, the cause of death was not revealed in the statement.
ODM wrote,”It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Mr. Philip Makabong’o, the Chairman of ODM Migori County Coordinating Committee, and Secretary of CCCC. Phillip has been a great pillar of our Party not only in Migori but nationally. May his soul RIP.”
