BONDO, Kenya, Oct 15 — Chants, angry shouts and repeated interruptions disrupted the first anniversary commemoration of Raila Odinga’s death at Migwena Grounds in Bondo on Thursday, as sections of the crowd demanded to know the whereabouts of ODM party leader Oburu Oginga.
Thousands of mourners gathered at the grounds after a church service led by the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) to honour the former Prime Minister, whose death marked the end of an era in Kenyan politics.
However, the commemorations were repeatedly interrupted as sections of the crowd questioned the programme and demanded explanations for the absence of key ODM leaders.
