He described Osiemo as a focused leader who had immense leadership and political life ahead of him.
“In Hon. Elijah Osiemo, the County has lost a young, industrious, talented, and focused leader who had an immense leadership and political life ahead of him,” said the county boss.

I take this opportunity to wish the injured MCas a quick recovery and offer toy heartfelt condolences to the late Osiemo’s family, residents of Nyamaiya Ward, and Nyamira County.”
