Heartbroken by the passing of Raila Odinga – a giant in Africa’s long struggle for freedom, justice, and democracy.
We walked parallel paths in the fight against dictatorship and for the rights and dignity of our people. His courage, resilience, and faith in the power of the people inspired many of us across generations and borders.
My deepest sympathy to Mama Ida, the Odinga family, friends, and all Kenyans. A great son of Africa has fallen – but his spirit and example will continue to light our way
