Your favourite coworker resigning and relocating to another country is another form of heartbreak we’re just not ready to talk about.

The late Rt. Hon.@RailaOdinga Fmr Prime minister of #Kenya was approachable. This photo was taken during an interview in London in 2022. His inner circle was smiling as Iapplied some powder on his face to control shine. Grateful to have met him. May he rest in peace. @AginaAg

Today, I joined mourners from every corner of our nation from Mandera to Mombasa, from Kirinyaga to Siaya, at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University, to bid farewell to my comrade and friend, the Rt. Hon. @RailaOdinga It was evident that Baba was deeply loved by the people. His tireless fight for democracy, for justice, for the rights and dignity of every Kenyan has earned him a place in the very soul of this nation. Raila Odinga’s life stands as a testament to true Pan-Africanism and enduring statesmanship. We mourn him deeply, and we celebrate the giant whose spirit will forever guide Kenya’s pursuit of freedom and unity. Fare thee well, Mzalendo Lala salama Baba

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.

Kenya and the world have lost a courageous leader. Raila Odinga was someone who dedicated his life to peace and freedom throughout Africa, despite enduring great personal hardship. He engaged openly and honestly on every aspect of the U.S.-Kenya bilateral relationship and was a true friend to America. I extend my sincere condolences to the people of Kenya and to Mr. Odinga’s family.

Growing up in rural Kirinyaga, I learned early that courage is not the absence of fear, it is the decision to act despite it. In my youth, I faced opposition, just as today’s young Kenyans face intimidation, and in some cases, abductions and killings by the regime. But just as I stood my ground then, I believe that your voices, amplified by today’s powerful digital platforms, can fight injustice, expose truth, and drive innovation. When I ran for MP, as a young advocate, with no money, and up against powerful, political systems and people, I was often told there were roles “not meant for women.” The same voices said I couldn’t win. Even today they still say that as a woman Presidential Candidate, the odds are against me, but I learned something powerful: when you prepare, persist, and believe in your cause, doors that seemed locked will open. On this International Youth Day, I encourage every young Kenyan, especially young women, to know: the future is not something you wait for, it’s something you build. Today, our youth have opportunities I never imagined at their age, digital tools, global networks, and a platform to speak to the world from their living room. Yet, challenges remain: unemployment, inequality, unwarranted abductions, and barriers to leadership. My message is simple: remain steadfast, embrace technology, speak boldly, and lead with integrity. Kenya needs your innovation, your courage, and your fresh ideas, in government, in business, and in every community. To our young people: the time to shape Kenya’s tomorrow is today. And I am committed to walking that journey with you. Happy International Youth Day to the youth of Kenya. #InternationalYouthDay
