Tuesday, June 17, 2025 - Outspoken Saboti MP, Caleb Amisi, has advised Meshack Opiyo, father of the late Albert Ojwang, to steer clear of media appearances and political engagements following President William Ruto’s phone call and Ksh2M donation.
In a post on X, Amisi warned that the President’s gesture - Ksh2
million and a promise of a new house - was part of a calculated move to pacify
public anger over the incident.
“To Albert Ojwang’s father, avoid availing yourself to
political machinations, political vultures, and state-sponsored narratives
aimed at calming the rage of Kenyans,” Amisi stated.
The legislator insisted that no amount of compensation could
undo the pain or bring back the deceased.
“No amount of money, promises, jobs, houses, or other lies
can return your son to this world.”
“Mourn him and keep off the media and politicians.”
“Do this for the respect of your son,” he added.
Yesterday, Opiyo revealed that President Ruto personally
called to offer his condolences and support.
“I want to thank the President for taking my son as his own
and feeling the pain,” he said.
Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga confirmed the donation,
noting that Ruto gave her Ksh2 million for the family.
She also pledged to build a Ksh1.5 million two-bedroom house
for Ojwang’s father.
Ojwang was arrested over online
posts allegedly targeting Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat.
He died at Central Police
Station under unclear circumstances, prompting a public outcry and
investigations.
