NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 6— President William Ruto will on Wednesday preside over the official commissioning of the late Raila Odinga’s mausoleum at Kang’o Ka Jaramogi in Bondo, marking a major milestone in efforts to preserve the former Prime Minister’s legacy as part of Kenya’s national history.
Gender and Culture Cabinet Secretary Hannah Cheptumo said the ceremony comes during the month dedicated to remembering and honouring Odinga’s life, legacy and contribution to the country, as Kenya marks one year since his death.
Cheptumo said the completion of the mausoleum through the Kenya Defence Forces marks an important milestone, with the facility now transitioning into the stewardship of the Museums of Kenya.
