Not the place for politics

Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi who was also accorded an opportunity to mourn his colleague and equally expressed his disapproval of what Mr Mbadi had spoken.

"We have all the time to do politics so this is not the place to speak such things, today let's say goodbye to our friend, we'll get back to politics later," he stated.
