Ronnie Osumba, who unsuccessfully vied for Deputy President in March 2013 as the running mate to Peter Kenneth has remembered his late friends in a touching tribute.

Osumba shared photos he took with the two gentlemen at an event and promised to write a book about them.

'These 2 gentlemen shaped my life in such profound ways that I can only capture in a book (which I shall write). Their deaths, both from cancer, in July last year was very painful to me and a nation and set me on a new course of self-discovery, pursuit of a path that elevates others no matter how small they are. It has been a difficult year, yet the most fulfilling in my adult life yet. I have a long way to achieve what these gentlemen did in their lives, but I am inspired by the legacy they left. Bob and Ken hope you are filling Heaven with as much laughter as you did us, and trailblazing up there. Keep resting my main men!' he wrote.

Adding,

those pics are taken on the same day at the same event on June 2015 at the Queens birthday celebration at the High Commissioner Residence. Ken is sharing the tribulations he was having with ODM for supporting the NYS project that was going on in Kibra, while Bob must have been bubbling on in his typical funny fashion about the many exciting things he was doing in Dandora, Turkana or God knows where else.
