High Court judge Daniel Ogembo Ogola has passed away.
Justice Ogembo was the presiding judge at the Siaya High Court.
In a statement on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, Siaya Governor James Orengo termed him as a personality with a marvellous ability to listen intently, reflect quietly and then interject.
“I join the entire judiciary in mourning the tragic death of Hon. Justice Daniel Ogembo Ogola who was the presiding Judge at Siaya High Court. Justice Ogembo had a marvellous ability to listen intently, reflect quietly and then interject, usually with brief few words that brought clarity in the courtroom. May his soul rest in eternal peace,” Orengo said.
Ogembo joined the judicial service as a magistrate in 2004 before being appointed a judge of the High Court in 2016.
He served at the Eldoret, Milimani and Siaya High Courts.
He practiced law from 1993 until 2003.
