No Ferrying of Even ODM Supporters to Raila’s Home as Family Gives Conditions Hrs to Memorial Event

The family of the late political veteran Raila Odinga has issued strict guidelines ahead of the anniversary commemoration at their Kang’o Ka Jaramogi home in Siaya.

Preparations have reached a crucial stage as organizers finalize plans to maintain decorum during the upcoming proceedings.

Family representatives have emphasized that the memorial service has been designed strictly as a solemn cultural and religious ceremony rather than a political rally.

To uphold order and solemnity, Mama Ida Odinga and family leadership have prohibited the transportation of political supporters using hired buses or organized caravans.

Lawmaker Otiende Amollo has announced that organizers have requested all attendees to arrive independently to ensure a peaceful atmosphere.

This decision has established a controlled environment as dignitaries and local residents have gathered to pay their respects.

Meanwhile, significant updates regarding party leadership attendance have emerged during the preliminary evening gatherings.

ODM Party Leader Dr. Oburu Odinga has sent his official apologies after missing the preliminary candle-lighting ceremony in Siaya due to health concerns.

Family members have confirmed that Dr. Oburu’s current health state has required him to rest, preventing his physical presence at the homestead.

Furthermore, Dr. Oburu has confirmed that he will skip the main memorial service as well to focus on his recovery.

In his absence, Kisii Governor and ODM Deputy Party Leader Simba Arati has received authorization to deliver the party leader’s official address during the ceremony.

Party officials have assured supporters that all scheduled tributes have been carefully arranged to honor the statesman’s enduring legacy smoothly.

As the final hours approach, security teams and event coordinators have put all necessary protocols in place across the venue.

Local leaders have called upon the public to respect the family’s wishes and maintain solemnity throughout the historical remembrance.
