Tribute to Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, EGH 18 Oct 2025
Kenya has lost one of her most devoted sons. The Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, EGH — fondly known as Baba — was a statesman whose vision and leadership profoundly shaped the nation’s journey. His life told the story of extraordinary courage, resilience, and an unbreakable commitment to the dream of a better Kenya.
Throughout his journey, Baba remained unwavering in his commitment to freedom and justice, consistently prioritizing the nation’s interests above personal considerations. His voice championed democracy and unity at moments when it mattered most, reminding us all that leadership is a call to serve and to stand firm in truth.
He moved generations to believe in the power of peace, equality, and shared progress. Today, we celebrate him not only as a statesman but as a guiding light — one whose vision and sacrifice will continue to inspire Kenya for years to come.
May his enduring legacy live within each of us who dare to dream of a nation that is united, just, and prosperous.
Dr. Farida Karoney, EGH
