There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.
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.
I am shocked to learn of the demise of former Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, a patriot, a pan-Africanist, a democrat and a leader who made significant contributions to democracy in Kenya and in Africa.
Kenya has lost one of its most formidable leaders who shaped the trajectory of our beloved country. Africa has lost a leading voice in pushing for peace, security and development. The world has lost a great leader.
During these difficult times, I pass my deepest condolences to Mama Ida Odinga and the entire Odinga family, to the people of Kibra Constituency , who he represented for many years, to the people of Siaya County, where he hails from and to all of us Kenyans.
May the Lord comfort us all as we deal with this enormous blow.
We should consider all of Northern Kenya as a potential food rich region. The land mass is massive and people are hardworking and resilient. WATER is the missing single component to change our fortunes to become exporter rather than importer of food. The security will also change
In order to gain TRUST in any organization the leader should start with him/her self. Can the staff trust you enough to tell you the truth? The lack of trust is your biggest expense and you can change fortunes by rebuilding trust in your relationships. I can tell you more next.
Rest in peace, Baba @RailaOdinga, a luminary whose resonant voice reverberated with the serene gravitas of profound sagacity, whose aura elicited deference sans overt exigency and whose discerning gaze traversed the vast expanse of international diplomacy with impeccable acuity. Fare thee well, Jakom, fare thee well, our paternal beacon.
#RestInPeace
Hon Raila was the most consequential politician in Kenya in the past three decades. He will be missed at many levels. At the political scene, he left few enemies, some allies and many orphans. To Mama Ida and the kids...poleni. A political giant has rested.
