I have seen some people argue that Queen Elizabeth II and the Pope were buried in private ceremonies.
Let us remind them that neither the Queen nor the Pope were Luos. They were buried according to their societies’ cultures, customs and traditions.
A Luo man with a homestead must be buried in accordance with Luo culture, customs and traditions. We must not accept colonial practices to take over our mores, traditions and customs.
As for those who argue that the Odinga family owes Kenyans nothing, let me remind them that everything members of the Odinga family have and enjoy—the power, influence, wealth and privileges—emanate DIRECTLY from the people.
For those arguing about “the Will”, let me remind them that we have not seen or read it, nor have we seen the advocate who read it in the PRESENCE of ALL beneficiaries as required by law. After all, no one has claimed that @RailaOdinga wanted to be buried as a boy who died in his father’s homestead.
Some of these issues are too consequential to be left to opportunists, hypocrites and transactional dealers.
@RailaOdinga must be given a befitting send off as a Luo Elder. He cannot be buried in secret like a thief.
The public and state agencies are urged to exercise absolute restraint and decorum during the entire process.
Period.
Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize. She founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.
Today we announce the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
@SenHamidaK Politicians don't understand how demanding a Kenyan's normal life can be-from hustles to hustles,overtaxation and balancing bills.The constant pressure takes a toll on mental health. Constitutionalism and rule of law to support everyone's wellness is supreme
