Edwin Abonyo, the widower of late Bomet Governor Joyce Laboso, has spoken out about his future, stating that he has not considered remarrying.
His response came after a fan of a local radio station asked if he would consider getting married again.
Abonyo, who has been open about his grief, recently shared that three months since Laboso's death, her clothes remain untouched in their homes in Sotik and Fort Ternan.
He also emphasized that crying every time he is alone does not make him less of a man, saying, 'Yes, I am strong, but like I have said before, I have my weak moments where I cry, but that does not mean that I am weak. After all, we were married for 35 years.'
Abonyo attributed the longevity of their marriage to their friendship, saying they were good friends.
Laboso's family has also shared a glimpse into Abonyo's home, describing a condolence book and four reddish candles sitting on a small table at the entrance corridor leading to his living room in Kilimani, Nairobi, which they say depicts a mourning mood.
