Siaya High Court Judge, Justice Daniel Ogembo Ogola, has passed away at his official residence in Siaya town. The late justice had worked on Tuesday, the 16th, and retired late in the evening before his lifeless body was found on his bed the following morning.

His driver, who had gone to pick him up in the morning, did not receive a response and alerted court officials. Upon arrival, they discovered that he had passed away.

Siaya Governor James Orengo described the late justice as a professional who diligently performed his duties.

“I join the entire judiciary in mourning the tragic death of Hon. Justice Daniel Ogembo Ogola who was the presiding Judge at Siaya High Court. Justice Ogembo had a marvellous ability to listen intently, reflect quietly and then interject, usually with brief few words that brought clarity in the courtroom. May his soul rest in eternal peace.”
