During his visit on Thursday, ODM leader Raila Odinga remembered Mama Dorcas as the matriarch of the Maasai community.
He noted that she was the backbone of her late husband’s strong political career that saw him grow to become a cabinet minister.
"Commiserated with the family of the late William Ole Ntimama following the passing of his widow, Mama Dorcas Ntimama. She was the bedrock of her husband’s politics and matriarch to the Maa. Dorcas championed Maa culture and promoted the education of girls," said Odinga.
