Embarassing! Jubilee officials Booed off stage at Kajwang's Final Moments at Uhuru Park

Mourners at Uhuru park
After the requiem mass and a memorial service for the late Senetor Otieno Kajwang', at Maxwell SDA church the Cord Fraternity and family led by Cord leader Raila Odinga, the team held a procession to Uhuru park where the public had an opportunity to share the sorrow and pain with the family. Thousands of people gathered to pay their last respects to leader whom the speakers have described as a gallant soldier, kind and friendly.

However things turned sour when the Master of Ceremony Elizabeth Ongoro, invited a Jubilee representative Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi to give a speech, the Mp was forced to halt his speech as the  mourners objecting his invitation to give a speech
shouted him down and signalling to move off the stage, the public would not take a plea by the Suba Mp John Mbadito calm down and let the Mp speak.

National assembly speaker Justin Muturi
The National assembly speaker Justin Muturi, had his fair share of the booeing as the public would not him speak. It took the efforts of the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to calm the Mourners down after which he invited the speaker of the National assembly who also introduced the Members of parliament present at the Venue.

The Senate speaker Ekwe Ethuro, had a hard time with the Mourners when he reffered to the CORD leader Raila as the former Prime minister. He was only allowed to continue with his speech after he referred to him as the Prime Minister as the crowd had demanded.

Drama and tension ensued after the Ceremony, when the public demanded that they be allowed to view the body as they had been promised earlier. The driver of the Hearse carrying the body of the late senator sped off from Uhuru park. The body
 of the late senator is to be Air lifted to Kisumu in the afternoon for a similar ceremony.
