Raila Odinga’s life was a testament to courage, sacrifice, and unyielding faith in the promise of freedom and justice.

Message of Condolence to the People of Kenya on the Passing of Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga

It is with profound sorrow that we learn of the passing of His Excellency Raila Amolo Odinga, former Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya.

In his passing, the Kenyan nation, our continent, and our world have lost a titan of conscience, a visionary of uncommon resolve, and a defender of the defenceless whose legacy will illuminate Kenya’s democratic path for all time.

Raila Odinga’s life was a testament to courage, sacrifice, and unyielding faith in the promise of freedom and justice. He stood tall through adversity, dedicating his life to the service of his people and to the advancement of democracy across Africa.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Odinga family, to President William Ruto, and to the people of Kenya. May his memory continue to inspire generations to fight for truth, equality, and national unity.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
