SIX MEMBERS OF THE ICC SUB-COMMITTEE During the Grand Coalition government, six members of the cabinet were appointed to sit in the established ICC sub-committee to spearhead matters PEV in liason with the Hague court at Netherlands namely: 1. Mose Masika Wetangula-now leader of minority in the Senate 2. Amason Kingi-now Governor Kilifi 3. Mutula Kilonzo (dead) 4. Amos Wako-now Senator Busia county 5. Prof. George saitoti (dead) 6. Gerald Otieno Kajwang (Dead lying in state at Lee Funeral home) I am noting with a lot of concern that out of the six cabinet members sitting in the ICC sub-committee, three are now dead with their death sounding mysterious and so sadden. Prof. George Saitoti died in a plane crash with his assistant Minister Orwa Ojode en-route to a church fundraising in Nthiwa, Senator Mutula Kilonzo was found dead in his Maanzoni home and now Senator Gerald Otieno Kajwang after executing his senatorial duties well having robustly contributed to the police bill on the floor of the senate for 15Minutes, had drinks with colleagues at parliament bar, leaves for home, complained of chest pain rushed to Mater Hospital, walk himself in and pronounced dead at 11pm. It is instructive to note that all the three deaths occurred in a flash taking the entire Republic by surprise. From where I sit this deaths are following a similar sequential pattern and this MUST concern the remaining three members of the ICC Sub-Committee. Our leaders should be allowed to represent their people and let death occur naturally for none of us is immortal. Almighty God should be the only one to decide whom to harvest from His vineyard. Once again I mourn together with the family of the three dead great leaders. May the Lord continually grace the families with the tenacity to go through the painful transition and to love again. Let me pen off with the words of the good book “All go to one place, all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.” Ecclesiastes3:20 REST IN PEACE MY GOOD FRIEND SENATOR GERALD OTIENO KAJWANG. I AM AT A GREAT LOSS. Desterio W. Okumu 20th November 2014
