 The President's personal call is seen by many as a significant step in acknowledging the family's pain and demonstrating a commitment to addressing the systemic issues highlighted by this tragedy.

The nation continues to keenly follow the ongoing investigations, with many hoping that the President's intervention will expedite the process and lead to full accountability for those involved in Albert Ojwang's untimely death.
