Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.
๐๏ธ๐ My deepest condolences to the people of Africa, Kenya, friends, family, and loved ones of the late former Prime Minister, H.E. Raila Odinga ๐. Your legacy as a champion of justice ๐๏ธ, inclusivity ๐, democracy ๐ณ๏ธ, and climate change ๐ will forever be remembered. RIP โ๏ธ.

I have sat in rooms where no one saw me. Iโve spoken when no one bothered to listen. And still I kept going. Now my Persons with Disabilities Bill is an Act of Parliament!
Being there, when the President turned my โBillโ into an Act by the stamp of his seal meant a lot โ not because it was perfect, but because we finally made it happen. This is what it looks like when we refuse to be left behind. #VIP
"We must move beyond acknowledgment and take bold steps to ensure women are not just participants but empowered decision-makers."

When women are educated, economies grow.
When they lead, governance improves.
When they are free from violence, societies thrive.
On #IWD2025, let's take action to break systemic barriers and make gender equality a reality #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Gen Z without a leader have successfully led a peaceful & permanent transformation of our Country above Tribe, Gender, Creed & Political Parties. They have achieved what structured political parties & politicians have been unable to achieve since independence. For the first time, the Country is boldly discussing a Government free of corruption & free of perception of corruption. And a Government that shall represent the face of Kenya. Gen Z should stand up their ground & not allow politicians or criminals & sellouts to hijack their transformation of our country. We place our faith in Gen Z to fix our country. Previous generations betrayed the Country. Gen Z should save us. We pray Gen Z will not sell their souls for 30 pieces of silver. Once you sell your soul, you enter into a Faustian Bargain with the devil & you will never recover. Soul is divine.

THREE things MUST happen to get Kenya out of this existential crisis. FIRST, the President must REJECT the bill as passed by the National Assembly. SECOND, Kenya Kwanza and Azimio MPs must come together and write a new Finance Bill taking into account the publicโs key concerns. THIRDLY, the President needs to reconstitute his team of economic advisors. They are tone deaf and have brought Kenya to the brink of catastrophe and international shame. Lastly, I mourn the loss of life yesterday and wish all those who were injured a quick recovery. Let all be united for the love of country to get Kenya out of this crisis.
The most dangerous thing for a government to do is to declare war on its youth. In the 90s majority of those who fought for a new constitution were young persons led by civil society and political opposition. Today Gen Z are on the front line. Government must dialogue with them.
African Commission on Human and Peoplesโ Rights expresses concern over Kenya's Finance Bill 2024, leading to protests and arrests; calls for inclusive dialogue and respect amid socio-economic strain.
