One Year On Kenyans Eulogize Fidel Odinga. This Is What His Father Had To Say

On this same date last year, the country was shocked to learn of the sudden demise of Fidel Odinga, the first born son of former Premier Raila Odinga.

Messages of condolence have been flowing on Raila’s timeline after the former PM posted a heartfelt tribute of his late son.

One year has now gone by. You are sadly missed but fondly remembered by your parents, Rt. Hon Raila Odinga and Dr. Ida Odinga, your wife Lwam and your darling son Allay, your siblings Rosemary, Raila Jr, Yvonne and Winnie, your nieces Saphie and Senayi, uncles, aunties, cousins and all your relatives and friends.

We the Odinga family would like to thank all those who stood with us during our long year of grief, following the loss of our dear Fidel.

We welcome all to a memorial service for Fidel and the 22nd anniversary of Mzee Jaramogi Oginga Odinga on Saturday January 30th 2016 at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology, Bondo Town, Siaya County.

“We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you unconditionally, in death we do the same.

Rt. Hon Raila Odinga and Dr. Ida Odinga.

Rosemary Odinga: Obange, we still miss you one year down the line. Always, you are in our hearts my dear brother.
