The late Raila Odinga’s longtime bodyguard, Maurice Ogeta, has recalled a frightening encounter during the July 2023 anti-government protests, claiming an officer repeatedly struck the windscreen of the former Prime Minister’s car before gunshots were fired.
Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV on Friday, October 9, 2026, Ogeta said the incident left him convinced that Raila and his security team could be killed.
“It got to a point whereby I registered in my mind and I could see my boss dead. In fact, it was like we are dead,” Ogeta recalled.
