ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DEATH OF MS BENTA ANDY OMOLLO


It is with deep sadness we announce the death of our dear colleague and friend, Ms Benta Andy Omollo. Benta, 27, passed away today, August 4, 2015 at the ICU of Nairobi Hospital after a short illness.

Benta was the administrative assistant and an integral part of the TJN-A team. She joined TJN-A in 2012.

Our grief and shock at this time is little compared to what Benta’s family is going through. Our hearts and prayers go out to them.

Arrangements for her burial will be communicated in due course.

Dear Kwesi

This is heartbreaking. I last saw Benta sometime in April during the Trust Africa - TJN workshop on Local Content Policy and didn't know this was the last time ever to see her. I will always remember her as a very gentle, kind and hard working person

May her dear soul rest in eternal peace and may God comfort her family and colleagues at TJN and the entire civil society family who knew her

Best

Oh it  is very sad to hear of Benta's death. Our condolences go to the family and even the team at TJNA. We remember how she was even very handy in working on our travels to the academy last year. It is indeed very sad. As believers we leave you with Psalms 46: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Dear Kwesi and TJ fraternity,

It is really sad to see this determined and ever loving young lady leaving us too soon.
Just last meeting and knowing us was during summer school in Nairobi.

I can't believe my tears is rolling.
It's more than what we could take, my sympathy with the family and friends esp TJ Nairobi.

My deepest condolences to Benta's family and the entire TJN-A family. May God grant you peace at this very trying time.
No one is ever prepared for such losses, but she is in a better place now.

Please accept my sympathies, and may her soul rest in eternal peace.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DEATH OF MS BENTA ANDY OMOLLO


It is with deep sadness we announce the death of our dear colleague and friend, Ms Benta Andy Omollo. Benta, 27, passed away today, August 4, 2015 at the ICU of Nairobi Hospital after a short illness.

Benta was the administrative assistant and an integral part of the TJN-A team. She joined TJN-A in 2012.

Our grief and shock at this time is little compared to what Benta’s family is going through. Our hearts and prayers go out to them.

Arrangements for her burial will be communicated in due course.

Absolutely devastated to hear this heartbreaking news. Benta was a joyful, generous, smart, dedicated and beautiful woman with big dreams and promises for a bright future. We will remember her warmly and miss her dearly. 


Please Kwesi share the numerous messages of compassion flooding in from around the world with her family so that they know how much she meant to us and how important and appreciated her contribution was to our tax justice community.


All the best,

Nora

La mort de notre Amie Benta me coupe le souffle. C'est vraiment dure comme nouvelle/*.
Ma dernière fois de rencontrer Benta était en Juin dernier à Nairobi. Visiblement   affectée, je lui ai demandé, Comment te sens-tu? Elle me répondit avec la pointe de sourire habituelle, Je vais mieux mais je suis fatiguée.

Que son Ame repose en paix.
