NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 26 – Former Alego Usonga MP Otieno Mak’Onyango has died while receiving treatment at a Nairobi hospital, marking the end of a public career that spanned journalism, elective politics and a protracted legal battle over his detention during the regime of former President Daniel arap Moi.
The death of Mak’Onyango was announced on Sunday evening by his successor, Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi, who mourned the former legislator as a leader whose contribution would remain part of the constituency’s history.
“We have this evening lost the Hon Otieno Makonyango, Former MP, Alego Usonga Constituency, while undergoing treatment at a Nairobi Hospital. May his soul rest in peace,” Atandi said.
