President Uhuru Kenyatta has sent a message of condolence to the family, relatives and friends of the late Rosa Oyoo, mother to Ida Odinga.
He said Mama Oyoo will be remembered for her outstanding service to the community and the nation having been the first African trained nurse in Kakamega.
The
President noted that she was a humble, industrious and kind-hearted
person who served her family as well as the nation with a remarkable
sense of duty.
EMBRACED EDUCATION
President Kenyatta added that Mama Oyoo was a diligent and hard working lady, who at the time when women
were relegated to cultural duties, decided to embrace education and the
culture of saving by opening a bank account in Kakamega in 1937.
She
will be remembered for her simplicity and generosity which earned her
the respect and friendship of many, he said in a statement to newsrooms
on Friday.
He said he would pray that God gives the bereaved family fortitude to bear the tragic loss of their loved one.
