"What other justice was she to get? If the public caught her, they would have lynched her without getting her side of the story because her case has been investigated and prosecuted through the court of public opinion. Now that she's no more everyone is sympathising with her," Sonko said.
The ex-governor thanked lawyers John Khaminwa and Cliff Ombetta for trying to reach out to her for assistance.
"Whether she committed suicide or was killed, depression is real and the same predicament can befall anyone. RIP Carolyn Kangongo," Sonko said.
A confession note allegedly authored by Kangogo - accused of killing two people - emerged, hours after her body was found.
The DCI said she committed suicide.
In a long draft text message, Kangogo said she suffered depression and lamented about her husband, whom she accused of philandering and neglecting her and her children.
The message appeared meant for her brother as she asked him and her parents to take care of her children because "their father is too much into women".
Kangogo asked that she be buried at her parents' home because her husband 'dumped' her.
Police say Kangogo shot herself at about 7.30 am Friday at Nyawa village, Tambach division in Keiyo.
Her parents called the police who found the body in a pool of blood in the bathroom.
