NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 16 – Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has explained his absence from the first-anniversary commemorations of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, saying he was in the United States attending a previously scheduled programme.
Gachagua said he had received an invitation from Raila’s widow, Ida Odinga, to attend the commemorations but was unable to honour it because of his prior commitment.
In a statement marking the anniversary, the former Deputy President thanked Ida for inviting him to join the family and other leaders in celebrating Raila’s life and legacy.
