Siaya High Court presiding judge Justice Daniel Ogembo has died.

The judge was found dead in his Siaya house earlier on Wednesday according to police sources.

Siaya Governor was among the first to send his condolences following the passing of the judge who worked in his county.

"I join the entire judiciary in mourning the tragic death of Hon. Justice Daniel Ogembo Ogola who was the presiding Judge at Siaya High Court. Justice Ogembo had a marvellous ability to listen intently, reflect quietly and then interject, usually with brief few words that brought clarity in the courtroom. May his soul rest in eternal peace," he said.

Ogembo joined the judicial service as a Magistrate in 2004 and was later appointed Judge of the High Court in 2016.

He served at the Eldoret, Milimani and Siaya High Courts.

Ogembo held a Masters of Arts (LLM) degree in international Studies from the University of Nairobi and a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree from the same institution.

He also held a Post Graduate Diploma in Law from the Kenya School of Law.

He was admitted to the Roll of Advocates, in 1993 and practised law for a decade from 1993 until 2003.

Ogembo's demise comes a week after the Judiciary lost High Court Judge David Majanja who passed away at a Nairobi hospital on July 10.
