Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi honored the late Dalmas Otieno at his burial service on behalf of President William Ruto in Rongo, Migori County. Mudavadi praised Otieno as an exceptional statesman who made lasting contributions to Kenya's democracy through his parliamentary work and Cabinet service. The cabinet secretary recalled entering Parliament at age 28 and finding Otieno already established as an articulate legislator whose well-researched debates set a high standard for national discourse.
Otieno chaired the Inter-Party Parliamentary Group, which negotiated vital electoral reforms in the 1990s that shaped Kenya's democratic transition. Mudavadi emphasized that Otieno's legacy demonstrates how democracy requires both voice and responsibility through dialogue and fairness. He urged leaders to emulate Otieno's dedication to public service and called on Budget Committee chair Samuel Atandi to prioritize equitable resource distribution across the nation.
