MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE FROM HON. GIDEON MOI TO THE FAMILY OF THE RT. HON. RAILA ODINGA
It is a profoundly sad moment for our nation following the passing of Kenya’s former Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, earlier today.
Indeed, Mr. Odinga was the most consequential political figure of our time.
Throughout his distinguished career, as a Member of Parliament, Cabinet Minister, and Prime Minister, he steered some of the most transformative reforms that reshaped the social and political fabric of our country.
What will forever define Hon. Odinga’s legacy was his untiring selflessness.
He consistently placed the nation above self and all else.
He made decisions not because they were popular or convenient, but because they were right.
He was a man of firm conviction, who believed that a country can only prosper when constitutionalism and the rule of law precede any other ambition.
Yet, he was pragmatic enough to build consensus when the country’s unity and progress demanded it.
On a personal level, Hon. Odinga was my friend and confidant; a leader whose wisdom, generosity, and counsel I deeply cherished.
Therefore, to attempt to eulogize the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga is to accept the inadequacy of words to capture the depth of his impact, his sacrifices, and his towering influence on our democracy.
We have lost a leader, mentor, patriot, and father to many. On behalf of the entire Moi family and the KANU fraternity, I extend our heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Mama Ida Odinga, his children, Rosemary, Winnie, and Junior, as well as his brother, Dr. Oburu Odinga, during this moment of profound sorrow.
We stand with them in prayer and solidarity, trusting that God will grant them strength and comfort to bear this great loss. May the Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga rest in eternal peace.
Hon. Gideon Moi National Chairman – KANU
