President William Ruto and Azimio leader Raila Odinga have jointly donated Ksh3 million to the family of the late Albert Ojwang.

President Ruto contributed Ksh2 million, while Odinga donated Ksh1 million.

The donations were presented to the bereaved family on Monday, June 16, 2025, by Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga during her visit to their rural home.

“President Ruto and the ODM leader are so deeply touched and perturbed by the death. They have told me to bring their sincere condolences and prayers for the family, friends, and relatives to overcome the loss,” Wanga stated.

“Agwambo has sent you one million. Our President William Ruto has also sent two million,” Wanga declared, standing beside Ojwang’s father.

Call for patience

She called for patience as investigations into Albert Ojwang’s murder intensify.

“They assured me that the culprits would be brought to book,” the governor added.

In addition to delivering financial support, Governor Wanga also announced that her office would facilitate the construction of a two-bedroom house for the family.

The house is estimated to cost Ksh1.5 million.

Albert Ojwang’s death has drawn national attention, with calls for justice coming from both political leaders and members of the public.

An investigation into the Ojwangs’ macabre is going on.

This comes after Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Langat agreed to step aside to pave the way for further probing into the murder of the slain teacher.
