In a week dominated by outrage, investigations, and political reactions over the killing of blogger Albert Ojwang, it was a quiet, human moment at his memorial that silenced a packed hall—his wife took the microphone and turned pain into poetry.
Her tribute didn’t focus on the national headlines or the legal battles now surrounding her husband’s death. Instead, she peeled back the layers of the public figure and spoke about the man she knew, loved, and lost.
She recalled how their paths first crossed—two young people with nothing but potential and shared struggle. According to her, it wasn’t love at first sight but rather a slow and deliberate unveiling of character. Albert, she said, wasn’t loud or overly charming, but quietly persistent, always curious, always listening.
Their relationship, she told mourners, blossomed in simplicity—long walks, shared meals, and conversations that stretched into the night. “He didn't court me with money,” she recalled, “he courted me with honesty and dreams.”
The most heart-wrenching part of the tribute came when she spoke of the life they built—a family grounded in humility, laughter, and sacrifice. Albert, she said, was more than a husband. He was her compass, her fiercest defender, and the father who would rock their baby to sleep after long work hours.
Her voice broke as she described how he had promised never to leave without saying goodbye. “You left too soon,” she whispered, fighting back tears. “But even now, I hear your voice telling me to be strong.”
As mourners bowed their heads, many visibly moved, she painted a picture of a man beyond politics and digital activism. This wasn’t just the Albert who wrote bold posts or called out injustice online—this was the man who knew how to make tea just the way she liked it, who would hum lullabies to their children, who still believed in better days even when reality was harsh.
Her tribute was not just an elegy to love. It was a call to everyone listening—to see beyond the hashtags and the headlines, to understand that Albert’s death left behind a wife, children, and a family now permanently scarred.
She ended her speech with a quiet dignity that left many wiping tears: “I will raise our children with your courage. You may be gone, but you are not lost. You live in them. You live in me.”
