Boid Were mourns father with beautiful tribute
During his eulogy, he paused at one point, recalling moments with his father before asking for justice to be served and those who sponsored his father's murder to be brought to justice.
"Dad, you are my hero, my guy, my greatest supporter. You're strength, wisdom and unconditional love shaped the person I am today. You taught me the love and value of hard work, the power of kindness and the importance of staying true to myself. You often filled our home with joy, and your presence brought comfort even in the hardest times. You cherished our family above all. You worked hard, not for recognition but to give us comfort," he said.
What Ong'ondo Were's family wants
Boid also noted how much he will miss his father and vowed to continue living in his legacy and make him proud.

"I'll miss you deeply, but I will carry your love with me every day. I am forever grateful to have a father so full of heart. All we want is justice for dad. I know four suspects were apprehended, but we not only want to know the people who did it, we also want to know the people who sponsored it. The people behind the scenes, the people calling the shots, we are fearless, mzee was fearless, we will not be intimidated," he further said.
