NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 15 — A year after Raila Amolo Odinga’s death, his memory remains deeply rooted among Kenyans who remember him not only as a political leader but also as a voice for the poor and a symbol of democratic struggle.
In Kondele, Kisumu County, where his political influence ran deep, memories of the former Prime Minister extend beyond election campaigns and public rallies. They encompass the promise of devolution, the excitement of voting and the belief that someone was willing to stand up for the voiceless.
For many supporters, Raila was simply Baba. To others, he was an inspiration whose political journey encouraged ordinary citizens to participate in the country’s affairs.
