I can’t find better words to mourn Rt Hon Raila Odinga than the words of the famous poem/song that embodies his indomitable spirit
“The Impossible Dream “.
Nind Maber Wuod Alego
Nind gi kue Wuod Luo
The anxiety huyu mzee alikuwa ananipea time ya elections ilikuwa level tofauti.
I think probably nilikuwa more worried about him losing than he was.
Then the insults and dress down that followed after the results were announced!!.
Pumzika pema Baba. No more humiliation for you.
Baba Raila Amollo Odinga had friends but I don't think there's any friend who believed in his Aspirations more than SK Macharia.
SK macharia was Raila's friend since their childhood.
When he launched ROYAL MEDIA SERVICES ( Citizen TV) in 1999 and re-lauched it in 2006 with other royal media services such as Inoro, Macharia had always been behind and stood with Baba .
Any Elections held, always behind Agwambo even after loss . At some point the Government threatened to close down his Premises but he had confidence in Baba. Baba would defend him whenever things erupted.
Macharia was a True Buddy to Jakom. He was a Brother till death did them apart.
Long live SK.
Today, we bury a giant. This funeral is a geographic event, one of the biggest human currents Africa has ever seen.
Hats off to the Mashemeji. The most unfiltered, authentic people I know. While the country often tiptoes, your grief and joy are both cinematic. You teach us to feel fully.
Rest in peace Baba. You fought the good fight and gave your entire self to this country.
Royal Media Services Chairman, Dr. S.K. Macharia — have shown the nation what true friendship, loyalty, and respect look like.
For nearly four days, Citizen TV, Inooro TV, and Ramogi TV have broadcasted Raila Odinga’s final journey live, without a single commercial break or advertisement — turning down millions in revenue, all in honour of a man he deeply respected.
This was not just coverage; it was a statement of integrity, legacy, and love for Kenya’s story. You are a legend, Chairman. History will remember this gesture.
Salute! 🕊️🇰🇪
Today, we bid farewell to a towering figure in Kenya’s history, Rt. Hon. @RailaOdinga, a patriot whose life embodied the struggle for democracy, justice, and equality. His unyielding spirit and lifelong devotion to the people of Kenya transformed our nation’s political landscape and ignited generations to dream of a freer, fairer society.
Raila was a voice of courage in moments of silence, a beacon of truth in times of uncertainty, and a steadfast defender of the people’s will. He taught us that true leadership is measured not in privilege, but in service, sacrifice, and hope.
As we lay him to rest, may his vision for a united and prosperous Kenya live on in our hearts and actions. May his memory remind us always to strive for justice, uphold peace, and cherish the freedom he so bravely fought for.
Rest in eternal peace, Baba. Your legacy will forever light the path of our nation.
