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.

Baba, the moment I embraced my identity as a Luo man, some of the so-called ‘tribeless’ Kenyans hurled every filthy, stereotypical insult they had reserved for our people.
To some, I am only worthy of praise when I criticize you—when I turn a blind eye to the sacrifices you’ve made and the wealth of wisdom you offer. After spending time with you, one question lingers: How can a man so great be so deeply misunderstood?
I refuse to distance myself from one of our greatest leaders just to seek approval online. I will not abandon a man who understands my struggles, who has walked the same path, and is willing to guide me through the complexities of our land’s politics. I will not betray the knowledge you carry.
I will not spite you, Baba. I will not insult a legend who has welcomed me into his home, shared meals, and hours of conversation. I will not turn away from Mama Ida’s kindness and counsel.
I choose to walk under your guidance in the quest for a better republic. If there is a price to be paid, I will gladly bear it. For too long, we’ve asked you to do things for us; what can we now do for you, Baba?
I reject the fleeting whims of naysayers who wish you failure.
I fully support your pursuit of the AUC chairmanship and pray for your triumph.
Go boldly, as you always have. We stand with you. May victory be yours.
Bring that seat home🇰🇪

@BenjiNdolo @_KasKazini You need a bit of schooling on cultural context. In many African communities, the Luo included, baba is a title. Because you did not play lisubo (ask a luhya) you will not know. As kids, you do not call your uncles (and any grown man thereof) by their names, you call them “baba”.

@MigunaMiguna @ahmednasirlaw Is this Miguna himself typing or AI? I’d swear I’ve never seen Miguna use an emoji, leave alone the smily face one 🤭🤭

@ahmednasirlaw A Gazette Notice has no force in law; just a mere administrative piece of paper, akin to the memo you print for your Carmel harders…😂😂

I really like #Watamu marine park for a nice snorkeling tour. BUT: getting the ticket via eCitezen is more difficult than seeing the big fish 🐟 🐡🐠.

@_KasKazini On this one, I am in full support of Kasmuel’s move to meet the Rt. Hon. @RailaOdinga. @MigunaMiguna cannot assume a holier than thou attitude now when he vigorously campaigned for the current regime in the hope of being rewarded by a cabinet appointment.

Daktari, this was no secret. It is a moment that I'm proud of and own fully.
It was a deliberate decision, shaped by a Kenyan reality I've sought your guidance on multiple times without receiving clear answers.
You can accuse me of many things, but not of lacking transparency; on my concerns about the movement, certain individuals within it, or my process of consultation.
In my careful analysis of the country’s current state, after bravely pursuing various strategies despite insults and surface-level support, I’ve found that learning from The Honourable @RailaOdinga offers one of the most realistic paths to achieving the change I’m after.
