Dennis Oliech<\/a>\u2019s family this past weekend gave their last born sibling, Kevin Oliech his last send off at their village in Seme, Kisumu county.<\/p>\n

As reported Kevin Oliech had been battling with lung cancer; but unfortunately it got to a point of no return after the cancer came back more aggressive after years of treating it!<\/p>\n

He however passed on about 2 weeks ago while receiving treatment at a certain hospital back in Germany. Thanks to a photo shared by \u00a0his best friend moments before his death, Kevin is seen trying to pull a smile; but his body still appeared to be weak.<\/p>\n

Sonko at the funeral<\/h3>\n

Despite trying to keep the burial intimate, Mike Sonko\u2019s presence seems to have ruined things for the Oliech\u2019s family. Not that they complained but seeing how Dennis has been silent on the matter; means he wanted to keep this private but having Mike around made this impossible.<\/p>\n

Through his social media pages, Mike Sonko went on to share more information on the burial saying;<\/p>\n

In Seme Kisumu County attending the burial of the late Mathare United Stars and Tusker FC Club player Kevin Oliech who succumbed to cancer while receiving treatment in Germany. Kevin was a brother to former Harambee Stars Captain Dennis Oliech, He passed on in Germany last month. I shall continue supporting the Oliech family during this difficult moment. Rest my brother, one day even cancer shall die.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rallying at a funeral<\/h3>\n

Although it is disrespectful for politicians to Rally at funerals; Mike Sonko says the people of Seme demanded for him to address them, and of course he did!<\/p>\n

After attending the funeral of late footballer Kevin Oliech in Seme, Kisumu County, I made a stop over to address wananchi after they demanded for my address.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In conclusion Mike Sonko said;<\/p>\n

I want to thank the people of Kisumu Dala for their warm reception today and I promise to come back again to meet with locals especially the youth. May Kevin’s soul rest in peace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
