A Legend has rested

 Oct 15 2025 will forever in the hearts and minds of Kenyans

The Man

The Legend

The Enigma

Raila Amolo Odinga, has rested




In a far away place in India, RAO suffered a heart attack and met his end

His remains were brought into Kenya on Thursday Oct 16 morning

KQ, in his honor, renamed the flight to RAO001 (who is cutting onions!!)

Kenyans were visibily & collectively devastated

A sea of people escorted him to Kasarani Stadium for public viewing, the entire 32km from airport was filled with chants and song, I think he would have loved that

His last borne daughter Winnie hang on to his fedora hat and symbolically handed it over to Mama Ida - oh the image!

Where do we go from here, they say when a Mugumo tree falls, the birds scatter!!

Love him or hate him, the man did his part

May we not scatter ohhhhhh

we need to be brave enough to say goodbye

and look forward for a new dawn




Eternal rest grant to Baba Oh Lord

and may perpetual light shine upon him

Rest in power Agwambo (the mysterious one)!

Rest in power Jakom (the chairman)!

Rest in power Tinga (the tractor)!

Rest in power RAO!

Your Voice will echo forever! (anon)
