Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has sent a condolence message to the family and friends of Felix Orinda popularly known as DJ Evolve following the passing on of his mother.
According to DJ Evolve’s father, John Orinda, Mary Hongo, 54, collapsed and died at her Lucky Summer home in Nairobi on the evening of Wednesday, September 22, 2021.
She is said to have developed breathing problems before she collapsed and succumbed.
Babu revealed that he had developed a good relationship with the deceased, stating that she will be hugely missed, as the family struggles to come to terms with the demise.
“Mum you were a mother to me, and a friend. We were united through a difficult situation, we had grown so close but God has His own reasons why this had to happen. As a family we are deeply saddened by your loss. You are forever loved and treasured,” Babu stated.
“We shall continue holding together and ensure your legacy lives on forever. To my friend Felix and your family I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through. May God grant you peace, strength and comfort to go through this difficult moment in your lives.
“Mum You always told us to be strong no matter how big the storm is and to always put God first. Rest In Peace Mum till we meet again,” the Embakasi East lawmaker mourned.
Reports further indicated that DJ Evolve also collapsed after learning that his mother had passed on. Hongo had played a major role in nursing the deejay who has been bedridden after he was shot in the neck.
The Nairobi deejay was injured after he was involved in a scuffle with Embakasi Member of Parliament Babu Owino in 2019.
Since the tragic incident, DJ Evolve’s spine is yet to recover which left him in a state of constant care. He is currently unable to undertake almost all external bodily functions such as eating, movement, by himself.
“Since January 17, everything stopped on my side because I couldn’t do anything and my child is in this condition,” Hongo told the press during an interview last year.
