The Board of Directors, Management, and Staff of the National Drought Management Authority join the nation in mourning the passing of the former Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, E.G.H.
We extend our deepest condolences to Mama Ida Odinga, the Odinga family, and the people of Kenya during this moment of profound national loss.
The Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga will be remembered as a visionary leader and statesman whose unwavering commitment to equity, justice, and inclusive development shaped our democratic and socio-economic landscape. His steadfast advocacy for the transformation of the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) inspired sustained investment in resilience, infrastructure, and livelihoods across regions long excluded from mainstream development.
During his tenure as Prime Minister, his leadership advanced national focus on drought risk management, social protection, and devolved governance - principles that continue to underpin NDMA’s mandate and Kenya’s resilience agenda today.
His legacy endures in the strengthened voice of ASAL communities in national planning and the enduring conviction that development must reach every Kenyan, in every region.
We honour his lifelong dedication to unity, inclusion, and progress for all.
🕊️ May his soul rest in eternal peace.🕊️
MY FRIEND Maurice Ogeta was the late Raila’s bodyguard; the man who protected him from every danger except this one time he could do nothing about. Spare a thought for Maurice.

This is Florence Wanjiku
She's a co-director for a land selling company in Nakuru
She's a mother of two kids, 10 and 2 years
Florence and one Elias Njeru had a relationship that culminated in investing and opening a business together. They also got a child together now, 2 years. As time went by her co-director didn't pay up her dues and their relationship started becoming rocky with Flo calling it quits.
Last year while on a trip to Nairobi from Nakuru, Flo was accosted and arrested by the DCI under claims that she had stolen the company car she was driving. She was arrested and stayed in jail with her one year old baby for a weekend until Elias agreed for her to be released.
The relationship becomes strained with Flo trying to leave and not showing up in the office. Elias continually showing up without notice at her house and demanding to see her or the baby.
Yesterday night they agreed to sit down and agree on co-parenting and they parted ways amicably. No sooner had Flo arrived at her apartment gate, she was hit on the head and stabbed severally, while protecting her head, her was stabbed on her arm and some of her fingers chopped off. (We will not post the pictures as they are very graphic).
The watchman is the one who saved her life and they rushed her to the hospital. Where Elias showed up in a shirt splattered with blood , demanding anti be shown Florence luckily the hospital had been made aware and refused to allow him to see her.
He also showed up at her apartment, insisting on taking his child or he would kill the children. The neighbours chased him away. Meanwhile her relatives were tried to report and three police stations insisted it was not their jurisdiction. The matter is now with Menengai West Police station
Elias Njeru is still free and claiming he is well connected and nothing will happen to him.
Our rallying cry right now is
