May Your Soul Rest In Peace, Mr ALaban.

 The phone number i called last night 8:04pm 23-11-2021, call duration 2 minutes!

Little did i know this was my last communication with you my Elder Brother Laban.


You battled a lot of sicknesses ranging from TB and many others!

Our efforts as Human Beings to rescue your life with Medication, Prayers, Food, Comforting plus other supports were all in vain!


It was the Almighty God who created you and it's also him who knows why he has taken you out of our family,  without even yiu leaving for us a single child to continue your generation as one of us.


You made our family,  our village, our parish, our Sub-county and our District proud when you were one of the people in Oribani Primary School who scored first grade in Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) of year 2000.

It didn't end there, again in 2004 while at the then Mandela Comprehensive Secondary School, you also passed in First grade.

What a knowledgeable youth!


I know, God knows and your spirit knows how painful you have left us grieving in pain and tears after you left us in moments we need to be tight together as one family!


You have always been my everything even from my school days, i used to Fill your name and phone number in Secondary as my Father, well knowing you are a wise and an intellectual brother who knows how to handle situations, especially when i had problems in School.

You were my counselor in my early Secondary School (Njuka) days when i was still urinating on bed in school, life was hell for me because of the stigmatization and bullying from my fellow students in Otravu Secondary School  but you didn't abandon me!

You were the first person besides my mother to console me to take heart and focus on my studies.


I can't believe you have gone now!


Dear Laban, you have left a big gap in our family.
