Reactions on social media to Owino’s post were largely positive, with many Kenyans commending him and his colleagues for actively engaging with communities and championing citizens’ rights.
Netizens praised the politicians for balancing public service duties with participation in significant local events.
The burial and the presence of top political figures underscored the intersection of leadership, community support, and national development initiatives in western Kenya.
