Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja met with the family of the late Albert Ojwang, who was one of Sakaja’s top influencers frequently working with his media team.
The meeting, held at City Hall, included Albert’s father, mother, his widow, and their three-year-old son.
Sakaja assured the family of his continued support, stating that he would cover all burial expenses, fund the child’s education, and clear the outstanding college fees for Albert’s widow, who is currently pursuing a course in community health.
“I have known Albert for a long time. If you go through his Facebook and Twitter you will see, he was a personal influencer, and we will walk with his family on this journey.”
“We will take care of the burial expenses, educate his three-year-old son George Miles, and finish paying his widow’s college fees. This is important as we call for justice for this young man.” Sakaja confirmed.
He said he was happy that Kenyans have come round to support the family and are contributing to a Paybill, the family has proposed that all those contributions be channeled to a Money Market Fund that will secure the child’s future instead of all being spent on an event.
He further reiterated his commitment to securing a job for the widow upon completion of her studies.
“Upon completing her training as a health worker, we shall ensure she gets a job in the county as she is in her last semester,” Sakaja added.
Expressing his deep sorrow and condolences, the Governor also committed to get friends together to purchase a plot in Homa Bay and construct rental units for Albert’s parents to help them earn a living.
“We want justice for Albert, true justice. This little boy George is oblivious of what has happened to his father who he will never see again, we cannot go on this way as a country,” Sakaja added.
Ojwang was killed while in police custody in Nairobi.
