It was an election between [Raila] Odinga and his student.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">The President revealed that shortly after the 2022 General Election, he sought out Odinga to thank him for what he described as\u00a0<span class=\" font-bold\">\u201cenormous personal and family sacrifices\u201d<\/span>\u00a0made in the interest of the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">According to President Ruto, this engagement formed the basis for the inclusion of Odinga\u2019s ODM party members in his government, including appointments to the Cabinet and other senior roles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">Mama Ida Odinga thanked Kenyans and the international community for their support during the mourning period. She also thanked President Ruto for granting her late husband a dignified send-off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\"><span class=\" font-bold\">\u201cI never imagined that this would fall on me \u2014 to bury [Raila] Odinga. I had hoped it would be the other way round,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\"><span class=\" font-bold\">\u201cMr President, my family is grateful to you for being a man of your word.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">The President said he had faced pressure to deny Odinga a State Funeral with military honours, but insisted on recognising him as the\u00a0<span class=\" font-bold\">\u201cpeople\u2019s president\u201d<\/span>\u00a0who deserved full national honours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">Also in attendance were former Presidents Uhuru Kenyatta and Olusegun Obasanjo of Nigeria, former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">Obasanjo described Odinga as a close friend and continental ally, saying,\u00a0<span class=\" font-bold\">\u201cI\u2019ve lost a brother, a friend, a confidant, and a co-worker in the vineyard of Africa.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">Mr Kenyatta, who while leaving office supported Odinga candidature, urged Kenyans to honour his legacy by upholding the democratic values he fought for throughout his life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\"><span class=\" font-bold\">\u201cWe shall miss your insights, your thoughtfulness, your wisdom, and your laughter,\u201d\u00a0<\/span>Mr Kenyatta said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">President Ruto revealed that he had closely monitored Odinga\u2019s health in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">He said he had provided a plane to facilitate his treatment in India after consultations with Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">\u201cI looked for him when he fell ill. The last month and a half was difficult. Every time I met him, his voice was hoarse, and he kept telling me he was weak from medication,\u201d Dr Ruto said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">The President also pledged to protect and support the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), the party Mr Odinga founded, stating that he would not allow it to be destroyed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\"><span class=\" font-bold\">\u201cBaba believed in strong political parties. ODM will be part of government in 2027. We will support and keep the party united,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0Dr Ruto said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">Senator Oginga confirmed that the President had offered logistical and medical support during Odinga\u2019s illness, including the airlift to India.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">Also present at the burial were governors from across the country, MPs, religious leaders, and foreign dignitaries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"relative group\">Odinga\u2019s burial marks the end of an era in Kenyan politics, closing a chapter on a career that spanned over four decades and shaped the country\u2019s modern political history.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1960 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/sahanpost.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/a5566114-5f84-4994-b498-57f335d94536-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sahanpost.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/a5566114-5f84-4994-b498-57f335d94536-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sahanpost.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/a5566114-5f84-4994-b498-57f335d94536-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sahanpost.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/a5566114-5f84-4994-b498-57f335d94536-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sahanpost.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/a5566114-5f84-4994-b498-57f335d94536.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: Dawan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenya, 19 October 2025 &#8211;\u00a0Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga was laid to rest on Sunday at his family\u2019s mausoleum in Nyamira village, Bondo, Siaya County, in a ceremony attended by&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":1960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-word"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
