Rest in peace, African Lion Hon Prime Minister Raila Amollo Odinga was a great leader, loved and hated in the same breadth. He shaped Kenyan political landscape, disrupting the status quo and reinvesting himself every time he lost. His malleability made him an enigma.

I interacted with him once. May His Soul Rest in Peace. To Ida Odinga, her spirit kept Raila going on. She never let the state biases and brutality disorient her. I met Ida in 2013 in Woodrow Wilson Centre in Washington, DC. @RailaOdinga @IdaOdinga

Ida words about the family showed me how passionate she was. She urged me to keep going, although my young family was away from me. My sincere condolences to her and her family. Raila Odinga Dr. Ida Odinga #RestInPeace #raila
