Ojwang in Luo is a name for something that has been abandoned. Mzee Ojwang Hatari, the late comedian was abandoned in his last days after years of entertaining a whole generation of Kenyans.

As he ailed, Kenyans abandoned him. The state abandoned him. The Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) too abandoned him after scrapping the Vitimbi show that made him and the station famous.
