Kenya commemorations for Raila Odinga

Overview

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the Odinga family have organized a series of national commemorations in Kenya to mark the first anniversary of the death of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Initially, the ODM announced a month-long observance titled ‘Mwezi wa Baba’ throughout October. This program includes nationwide activities such as candle lighting ceremonies, regional rallies in locations like Kakamega, Garissa, Kajiado, and Turkana, and a concluding memorial rally in Nairobi.

Further details indicate a week-long national commemoration scheduled from October 10 to 17, culminating at the former Prime Minister’s ancestral home, Kang’o ka Jaramogi, in Bondo. A national steering committee has been established to oversee these events. To honor his legacy, several institutions are launching dedicated programs, including the Raila Centre for Democracy at the University of Nairobi, a symposium at Daystar University, and the Raila Odinga Regional Leadership Academy at the Kenya School of Government.
