Former Industrialisation, Transport and Communication Minister Dalmas Otieno was on Tuesday eulogised as a development-focused, intelligent, and humble man who always sought solutions.

At a memorial service held at Don Bosco Catholic Church in Upper Hill, Nairobi, politicians and mourners remembered the former Rongo MP as someone who never left a meeting without offering a way forward.
