Former Kakamega ODM nominated MCA Godliver Omondi has died at Agha Khan Hospital Kisumu after a short illness.

According to Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula, Godliver Omondi was admitted to the ICU wing on Saturday after suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes but succumbed today at 6 pm.

Omondi was serving her second term, having been nominated on the Orange Democratic in the Third Assembly following the 2022 general elections.

Omondi served her first term in the Second Assembly (2017-2022) as an elected MCAS on the Amani National Congress (ANC) Party representing the people of Kholera Ward in Matungu subcounty.

She also served as a senator from 2013-17, representing Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), having been nominated by ODM.

DG Savula eulogized the MCA as a legislator who served diligently with principle and dedication.

"Hon Omondi was a key member of the Assembly's leadership where she served as the deputy minority leader between 2017-2020. She will be remembered as one of the pioneer MCAs of the Assembly Disability Caucus," he said.

Until her death, Omondi served on several committees, including the Liaison, chairperson of the Appointments Committee, Budget and Appropriations, Social Services, Youth, Culture and Sport committees.
