Raila took to his social media accounts to condole with Sankok over the loss.

"Hon. David Sankok, it is painful to experience losing a child, and even more so, difficult having to bury one; we stand with you during this difficult time," Raila said.

He prayed for the legislator and his family as they deal with their loss.

"Please accept condolences from Mama Ida and I. May God grant your entire family fortitude," Raila said

"We are praying for you."

Sankok's son died on Monday after shooting himself with his dad's gun at their home in Ewaso Nyiro, Narok County.
