ADIEU H.E. RAILA ODINGA
I am saddened by the news of the passing of
H.E. Raila Odinga, former Prime Minister of Kenya and a distinguished African statesman whose life symbolised resilience, courage, and democratic struggle in Africa.
Kenya has lost a patriot and our continent has lost a great leader, one that understood that leadership is not about self, but about service; who believed and looked forward to Africa’s greatness and ascendancy.
I honour him not just as a brother in the cause of democracy, but as a committed pan-Africanist whose light will continue to shine.
May history remember him kindly, and may Africa continue to be blessed by his hope, wisdom and sacrifice.
