Wakati marehemu mbunge wa Kibra Ken Okoth aligundua kuwa alikuwa na saratani ya hatua ya nne, alionyesha kwamba mambo hayakuonekana vizuri, lakini alitoa uhakikisho thabiti kwamba alikuwa amedhamiria kuipigania hadi mwisho.
Okoth alifanya hivyo hivyo na alipigana bila woga hadi kiwango cha kudharau ugonjwa huo. Hata alihudhuria sherehe ya Kibra baada ya kutua kutoka Ufaransa wiki mbili zilizopita na akatoa hotuba ya kusisimua. Alikutana na viongozi mbali mbali waliomtembelea huko Ufaransa pia na kuchukua picha, ambazi aliziweka kwenye mitandaoni.
“Nilikuwa nimeahidi mabasari na nilihakikisha wamepewa zawadi hata kwa kukosekana kwangu. Ulipata? “Aliuliza wakati wa tafrija ya Kibra.
Pia kwenye hafla hiyo, alikiri kuwa;
Hofu ya jambo ambalo halijulikani ambao inaambatana na utambuzi wa saratani ni kubwa. Saratani inabadilisha maisha yako kabisa.
Wakati kufariki kwake kutangazwa Ijumaa alasiri, Wakenya wamekuwa wakimwongezea sifa kwa mara ya kwanza. #RIPHonKenOkoth, Wakenya kutoka pande zote za jamii walimshangilia kama mfano mzuri wa ujasiri ambao kila mtu anapaswa kuwa nao.

Alizaliwa na kukulia katika eneo la Kisumu Ndogo upande wa Kibra na Okoth hakuogopa kuzungumza juu ya kukua kwake ambao ulikuwa mgumu tangu enzi zake katika Shule ya Msingi ya Olimpics wakati mama yake alijitahidi kutafta karo za shule.
Hata hivyo alikuwa amedhamiria kubadilika kwa kufanya kazi kwa bidii na alikubaliwa katika Kituo cha Wavulana cha Starehe na baadaye akaenda Chuo Kikuu cha St Lawrence, USA ambapo alisoma masomo ya Kijerumani na Ulaya. Alipata Shahada ya juu katika Mahusiano ya Kimataifa katika Chuo Kikuu cha Georgetown.

Kupitia mpango wake wa “Elimu Kwanza”, mbunge wa kipindi cha pili alihakikisha kuwa shule zimejengwa na kufanya kampeni kwa watu na mashirika yasiyo ya kiserikali kujaza maktaba na vitabu, ili watoto wenye uhitaji wapate elimu bora.
Ken Okoth was a wise worrior, He had account of His days and he created a worth while legacy. Last Sat, as we mentored #Mbagathihighsch l could hear the echo of his diligence administration speaking. He is not dead, he is resting. #RIPHonKenOkoth pic.twitter.com/sb9uvoV8UT
