‘Serving Jakom was a privilege and an education in leadership’ - Raila's bodyguard Maurice Ogeta

JAKOM, that the commitment in the years-old service to and under you, and the undeniably very close nexus that blossomed to both comradeship of trust and a near-son relationship, have seen me grow into what I am today in the leadership space, can neither be gainsaid nor overstressed.

From the opportunity you entrusted to me as your Personal Aide for close to 18 years, I confess I know no other human being on the African continent who came close to you as the First Among Equals on the quest for a freer and more equal continent, outside Nelson Mandela.

In the historical quest for a better Kenyan nation, your legacy was marked with personal sacrifices, powers on.

Thank you for being a dependable Father and Mentor.

RIP, PM.
