Otieno Kajwang’s Mapambano song should ring louder

BOMET COUNTY: The demise of Homa Bay Senator Otieno Kajwang’ is reverberating across the country. The late senator’s death is sending waves of sorrow that have gone beyond his county, beyond ODM party and beyond CORD and is touching all Kenyans because his political contribution is immense.

He did a lot on the political platform and his voice will always be remembered leading crowds in singing his favourite Mapambano chorus, a simple song that presents Kenya’s urgent need to continue fighting for liberty. To him, the changes that have occurred since Kenya’s independence in 1963 are piecemeal and he always wished that the country got more.
