Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Azimio Leader Raila Odinga has mourned the death of Mama Zahra Shee, a member of the ODM Party in Lamu County.<\/p>\n

Raila said Zahra was a highly valued and respected member of the ODM team, not only in Lamu County but nationally.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learnt of the passing of Mama Zahra with utmost shock and deep sorrow,\u201d the Opposition chief said in a statement.<\/p>\n

At the time of her untimely death, Mama Zahra was a member of the ODM Women League National Executive Council (NEC) and a nominated member of the County Assembly of Lamu.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the entire membership of our Party and on my behalf, I wish to express our most sincere sympathies to you Mama Zahra’s family, her colleagues, and friends. I wish you the fortitude to bear this great loss,\u201d read the statement in part.<\/p>\n

Raila said Zahra was an active, conscientious, and dedicated leader in the party, who was always focused on the good of the people and the ODM Party than on her self-aggrandizement.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was the unshakeable pillar of our Party in Lamu County and adviser at the national level. Indeed, the void her unexpected departure has created in the Assembly and Party leadership is already visible and will be difficult for us in ODM to fill,\u201d Raila added.<\/p>\n

Early this year, she was among party officials who accompanied Raila during a recruitment drive in Lamu.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was her usual self and full of energy, giving instructions and crossing the ocean with us for two days,\u201d Raila recalled.<\/p>\n

ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna termed her as one of the strongest grassroots leaders in the ODM party.<\/p>\n

“Mama Zahra hosted the Party in Lamu earlier this year and we had a very successful recruitment drive. She has been one of the strongest grassroots leaders in the ODM party. I have received news of her death with profound sadness. May Allah rest her soul in eternal peace,” Sifuna stated.<\/p>\n
