“Since Baba Died You Never Came” Emotional Moment as Ida Chides Ogeta Over Absence Since Raila Died

Ida Odinga has drawn attention after a video emerged showing her questioning Maurice Ogeta, the longtime bodyguard of her late husband, Raila Odinga, about his absence from the family since the former prime minister’s death.

In the video, Ida is seen addressing Ogeta during a gathering attended by members of the Odinga family and other guests. Her remarks suggested that she had not expected to see him after such a long period without a visit.

“I thank God that Gor Mahia has brought you here finally. Since Baba died, he never came,” Ida said.

Her comments appeared to surprise some viewers, with the exchange prompting conversations about the relationship between the late politician’s family and people who worked closely with him for many years.

Ogeta was one of the familiar faces in Raila’s inner circle. Having served as his personal bodyguard and aide for approximately 29 years, he accompanied the veteran politician through different stages of his public and political life.

His long service made him a recognisable figure among Kenyans who regularly followed Raila’s activities. Over the years, he was often seen standing beside the former prime minister during public events, political gatherings and other engagements.

Raila’s death on October 15, 2025, in India marked the end of a significant chapter in Kenyan politics. His passing attracted tributes from leaders, supporters and people who had interacted with him throughout his career.

For those who had spent years working alongside him, the loss also represented the end of long standing personal relationships built through years of shared experiences.

The latest video has brought renewed attention to Ogeta’s relationship with the Odinga family. Ida’s remarks have particularly interested viewers because they touch on the personal connections that continued beyond Raila’s political career.

Some social media users have focused on Ida’s direct approach, while others have considered the possibility that Ogeta, like many people who knew Raila closely, may have been dealing with the loss in his own way.

The footage has also reminded Kenyans of Ogeta’s lengthy association with the former prime minister and the role he played while serving him.

Although the brief exchange has generated discussion online, it remains unclear from the footage alone why Ogeta had not visited the family earlier.

The moment has therefore added another chapter to the public conversation surrounding Raila’s legacy and the relationships he maintained with the people closest to him.
