Rampel, I lack what to say. I thought you were here for much longer, but God had his plans. You have left behind a beautiful family and I pray that they find strength. I am filled with grief, you have left me in stitches. You mentored me, you taught me. You were a great story teller and in your company your friends were never bored. We laughed and cried together. Your acts of generosity is long if stretched. I wish, I knew, I wish… I pray for your family. I will not say goodbye, I say till we meet again. Rest in power.

I am at a loss after hearing the demise of my former colleague and Boss in IRC Lodwar implementing peace build and Advocacy program.
I remember his focused Leadership as he mentored and build relationships with partners, community , beneficiaries and Donor. He had a great sense of humour, my name sake loved nyama choma and benga music. He trusted me as his officer being the manager, gave me a lot of support supervision in all my undertakings , decisions and actions that I made on behalf of the project. We travelled in every part of Turkana ,Pokot and marakwet to seek for peace and conflict resolutions. Martin was a brilliant and intelligent man whose innovative and strategic ideas propelled us to logically conclude the peace project.
A man of big heart and very generous. He travelled all the way from Turkana and IRC staff to attend my Mum’s burial in Nyakach. I will always remember you Rampell, the Commander has fallen. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
You were a great man full of love for humanity, kind and straight forward. You will always remain in our hearts forever. I know that our Lord has already given you a lovely place in heaven. May you soul rest in eternal life wuod luo. Jowi jowi jowi.
Nyathi mama rest in peace till we meet again. You have fought a good fight and the deeds will forever remain in our hearts.
It’s sad to sad goodbye. I admired your sense of duty at work and the priceless moments we spent discussing politics and development. You will be missed.
Sincerely.
