Millie Odhiambo Demands For Probes Into Journalist Festus Amimo’s Death
Suba North Member of Parliament (MP) Millie Odhiambo has asked for an investigation into all sudden deaths following the death of veteran journalist Festus Amimo.
Millie associated herself with Dr. Akinyi Wenwa, the sister of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, in a statement posted on her social media platforms on Sunday, December 7.
The congressman grieved the experienced journalist and described his death as surprising.
During the funeral of their sister Beryl Odinga, Dr. Wenwa recommended that every untimely death be thoroughly probed.
Millie Odhiambo went a step further, questioning whether the increasing incidence of abrupt fatalities, which are becoming frighteningly common, could be linked to the Covid-19 vaccine.
“The death of Festus Amimo is shocking. These sudden deaths must be investigated, as was suggested by Raila’s sister, Dr Akinyi Wenwa. Could they be linked to COVID jabs?”
