Raila Odinga’s son, Raila Junior, on Friday, October 17, 2025, took the centre stage during a brief session at the parliament building as the Odinga family paid respect to their departed dad.
In what is a development that could bear significant political and symbolic connotation, Raila’s sole surviving son, took over the fly-whisk and the iconic Jaramogi Oginga’s hat during the solemn event at the Parliament Building.
He hauled the whisk above his father’s body before waving it sideways as the family members stood beside him.
Raila Jnr ended his tribute by bowing before his father’s unmoved figure, an ultimate sign of reverence.
In Luo culture, a fly whisk, known as an orengo, is a powerful symbol of leadership, authority, and respect traditionally carried by respected individuals, including elders or chiefs.
The symbol is largely used in traditional rituals, political contexts, and ceremonies.
Just as his late father, Raila Odinga equally used the fly whisk during speeches, rally crowds, and while paying respects at funerals, such as he had recently done during the burial of Ongondo Were and his departed Aide, George Oduor ealier in the year.
The other members of the family also took their turn to pay their respect to the remains of the former Prime Minister that lay in state at the Parliament building.
Raila Junior’s younger sister, Winnie, and Raila’s sister also paid their respect to the family patriarch.
Raila Jnr became the only surviving son of the departed ODM leader following his eldest brother, Fidel Castro Odinga’s death in January 2015, at the age of 42.
Apart from his cryptic post on social media, which are usually few and far in between, the man has maintained a low and laid-back life, opting instead to focus more on his business.
Thousands of mourners attended a state funeral for Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga on Friday under heavy security after a deadly day that saw officers open fire to disperse crowds at a stadium hosting a public viewing of his body.
Odinga, a major figure for decades in Kenyan politics who was once a political prisoner and ran unsuccessfully for president five times, died on Wednesday aged 80 in India, where he had been receiving medical treatment.
He commanded a passionate following in the East African nation and huge crowds took to the streets from early Thursday, storming the country’s main airport when the plane carrying his body arrived and later breaching a gate of the Kasarani National stadium hosting the public viewing.
Security forces then fired in the air and police lobbed tear gas to disperse the crowd. Police said three people were killed with scores injured.
Kenyan authorities deployed heavy security on Friday, with police keeping crowds at a distance outside parliament, footage from local television and Ruto’s office showed.
Odinga’s body was taken to the parliament where it would lie in state before being taken to Nairobi’s Nyayo National Stadium, with President William Ruto, heads of the parliament and the judiciary in attendance.
Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was among the African dignitaries seen at the ceremony.
Thousands of mourners at the stadium were waving white handkerchiefs and dancing at the venue which was bedecked with large banners with Odinga’s portrait. Others blew whistles and vuvuzelas in honour of the man they referred to as “Baba” (“Father” in Swahili).
The mourners, some of whom were not yet born in 1991 when Kenya became a multi-party democracy, paid tribute to Odinga’s efforts as an activist.
“Raila Odinga, the father of democracy in Kenya, was a selfless leader who would risk everything – even his life – to make Kenya work,” Jean Jerry Abeka, 24, said.
Though mainly known as an opposition figure, Odinga became prime minister in 2008 and also struck a political pact with former President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2018, and with Ruto last year in a career of shifting alliances.
He commanded deep devotion among supporters countrywide, especially in his Luo tribe based in western Kenya, many of whom believe he was cheated of the presidency by electoral fraud.
Several foreign leaders have arrived in Nairobi to attend the State Funeral of the late former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga at Nyayo National Stadium. Their presence shows the extent of Raila’s influence across East Africa and his long-standing role in fostering regional diplomacy.
Taye Atske Selassie Amde, President of Ethiopia since 2024, attended the funeral as a mark of respect. Before becoming president, Selassie served in various diplomatic roles, including ambassador to Egypt, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
His administration has maintained strong ties with Kenya, focusing on trade, infrastructure, and regional security.
Philip Mpango, appointed Tanzania’s Vice President in March 2021, also attended. Kenya and Tanzania share a long history of diplomatic cooperation through the East African Community (EAC).
Raila Odinga was instrumental in promoting regional integration during his political career.
Rebecca Nyedeng, Vice President of South Sudan since August 2023, represented her country at the funeral. Rebecca Nyandeng De Mabior (born 15 July 1956) also heads the Gender and Youth Cluster.
Previously, Nyandeng served as Minister of Roads and Transport for the autonomous government of Southern Sudan. From 2007 to 2014, she worked as an advisor to the President of South Sudan on gender and human rights. Her attendance reflects the strong diplomatic ties between South Sudan and Kenya, which have hosted numerous peace talks facilitated by Odinga.
Former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, who led the country from 2005 to 2015, joined the ceremony as a senior statesman. Kikwete shared a long professional and personal relationship with Raila, collaborating on EAC forums and regional development initiatives.
Vincent Biruta attended the State Funeral to represent Rwanda’s government. He was appointed to the position on June 12, 2024.
Before his appointment, he served as Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. He has held several other ministerial roles, including Minister of Environment, Minister of Natural Resources, and Minister of Education.
Hassen Sheikh Mohammed, Somalia’s President, attended the State Funeral as a representative of his country. His presence underscores the strong diplomatic ties between Kenya and Somalia. Mohammed highlighted Raila Odinga’s commitment to regional peace and stability, recalling the late leader’s efforts to mediate conflicts and foster collaboration across East Africa.
The attendance of these leaders shows Raila Odinga’s reputation as a statesman whose influence went beyond Kenya’s borders. Throughout his career, he acted as a bridge between governments, supporting cooperative trade agreements, joint infrastructure projects, and regional conflict resolution.
At Nyayo Stadium, the foreign dignitaries joined thousands of Kenyans, including President William Ruto, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, former President Uhuru Kenyatta, members of Parliament, and the judiciary, led by Chief Justice Martha Koome. The ceremony included military honours, a requiem mass led by the Anglican Church of Kenya, and a public viewing of Raila’s body.
The State Funeral serves as both a farewell to a national leader and a gathering of regional dignitaries, in respect to Raila Odinga’s legacy as a champion of diplomacy and development. After the ceremony in Nairobi, his body will be taken to Bondo for burial on Sunday, October 19, 2025.
BBC – Toting sub-machine guns and sometimes wearing masks as they drive along the streets of Uganda, members of an elite military unit are increasingly viewed as a private army to keep 81-year-old President Yoweri Museveni in power – along with his ever-growing family dynasty.
Museveni has led Uganda since 1986, when his rebel forces marched into the capital, Kampala. He has since won four elections – all marred by allegations of violence and rigging.
But this is nothing new in the country – since Uganda gained independence in 1962, power has only ever changed hands through rebellions or military coups.
Museveni is seeking re-election next year and the opposition fears that the Special Forces Command (SFC) could be used to prevent it from campaigning, as it says was the case in 2021.
But the SFC, which for years was commanded by Museveni’s son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has been accused by government critics of abducting, torturing and killing opposition activists all year round, not just during elections.The SFC denies these allegations.
“It’s like a shadow army within the army which is only answerable to the president and his son. Its rise and influence is causing resentment among senior generals,” one military source told the BBC.
This is compounded by the fact that Gen Kainerugaba, 51, who is now the army chief, and has said he wants to succeed his father one day, has enlisted his own son into the army.
Gen Kainerugaba has also been contemptuous of some long-serving generals, calling one a “buffoon”.
His remarks sent shockwaves through military and political circles, but the government downplayed them as “mere social-media banter” – something for which Gen Kainerugaba is well known.
Analysts say the unit has become so influential that it rivals the power of the regular army, which still has commanders who fought in the guerrilla war that brought Museveni and his National Resistance Movement (NRM) to power.
These observers have raised fears that the two could clash one day – as in Sudan where a civil war has broken out following a power struggle between the army and a paramilitary group once allied with it, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The unit now known as the SFC was established when Museveni first took office, and has a motto stating “there is no substitute for loyalty”.
“The SFC is the most powerful unit within the Ugandan military, comprising the [most] highly trained, best-equipped, and best-funded officers in the country,” Dr Gerald Bareebe, a Uganda-born academic based at Canada’s York University, told the BBC.
Both the Ugandan army and the SFC declined to comment when approached by the BBC.
Museveni’s son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba first became commander of the SFC in 2008
Museveni has previously defended the SFC, saying it was formed for Ugandans. He said that only people who did not wish Uganda well could be unhappy with such a force.
But Museveni’s critics see it differently – arguing that the president has ruled with an iron fist since seizing power, and has turned the country into his family’s fiefdom.
They note that the president’s wife, Janet, is the education minister and Gen Kainerugaba is the army chief. His grandson’s enrolment into the army – announced in July – is seen as perpetuating the family dynasty.
Gen Kainerugaba has twice led the SFC and is credited with expanding it into a force with an estimated membership of more than 10,000. The regular army is thought to have around 40,000 active members.
“They go through specialised training. And also they have sophisticated weapons, unlike the regular army,” a former senior military officer told the BBC.
Although his father promoted him to chief of the defence forces in March last year, Gen Kainerugaba is said to have maintained de facto control over the SFC, with its current commander, Maj Gen David Mugisha, reporting to him.
Gen Kainerugaba mostly operates from the unit’s headquarters – in a building named after his father – in Entebbe, about 34km (21 miles) south of the capital, Kampala.
Those in the SFC are highly trained and the unit is estimated to now be 10,000 strong
The SFC boasts on its website that it carries out specialised missions “at a moment’s notice”, and is assigned to secure critical installations such as the main airport and oil fields.
It is widely suspected to have crossed into Kenya last November to capture opposition politician Kizza Besigye, once Museveni’s doctor, and take him back to Uganda to face trial for treason, which has yet to start. The army’s prosecutor has acknowledged the involvement of the Ugandan security forces.
Analysts like Dr Bareebe feel the SFC’s core function “is to guarantee regime survival” by fending off threats – not only from the opposition but also army generals.
“It plays a disproportionately central role in suppressing anti-regime mobilisation and shielding the ruling NRM from both internal dissent and external threats,” Dr Bareebe said.
Although the SFC has denied involvement in the wave of abductions and torture of opposition members, some of its officers have been convicted of abusing their power.
The most prominent case was that of a 32-year-old SFC soldier, who was court-martialled and sentenced to death last November for shooting dead three people and injuring two others, including a one-year-old child.
In May, the presidency said it was investigating a reported incident where SFC soldiers were accused of torturing the driver of a boda boda – as motorbike taxis are known locally. The rider had been rushing to reach his pregnant wife when he got caught up in a presidential convoy.
He said his “boys” were holding Edward Sebuufu, alias Eddie Mutwe, “in my basement”, and in a social media post, attached a photograph of the bodyguard with a clean-shaven head.
Gen Kainerugaba mocked Mr Sebuufu, saying he was “looking very smart these days” as his beard had been shaved by “my boy”, referring to a junior soldier.
The Uganda Law Society said Mr Sebuufu’s ordeal had not been an isolated case, but was “part of a systematic campaign to silence dissent and crush the aspirations of people yearning for freedom”.
It added that the incident underscored “a dangerous nexus of military power and political oppression”.
The shadowy nature of the unit and its operations have often led to accusations that its existence was illegal.
But in June, parliament passed a controversial legislative amendment, recognising the SFC as one of four official military services – along with the land forces, air force and reserve force.
Opposition MPs criticised the move, saying the unit should not be given such legitimacy and should instead be disbanded.
“The new law validates an entity that has been operating illegally,” said opposition MP Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda.
For Dr Bareebe, the SFC’s “elevation in law merely reflects its already dominant position within Uganda’s militarised power structure and reinforces its role as the cornerstone of regime security”.
This concern was shared by respected Ugandan analyst Godber Tumushabe. He recently warned that despite the country’s apparent stability, “all that we have is the absence of war”.
This year, parliament recognised the SFC as one of the four official military services
A senior army officer, who preferred not to be named for fear of repercussions, told the BBC that there has been growing discontent within the military about the unit’s recruitment process as it appeared to be along ethnic lines.
Various sources, including those in the military, told the BBC that the SFC was heavily dominated by officers from President Museveni’s Banyankore ethnic group, and related communities, in order to guarantee loyalty.
“If you look at all SFC commanders since its inception, they come from Museveni’s ethnic group,” says Nganda, the opposition MP.
Of the six commanders who have held the position since 2007, only one does not hail from the west country, where the Banyankore live.
Given these competing interests, analysts fear that a power struggle could break out between rival military factions in the post-Museveni era.
“My greatest fear is that we don’t know what will happen when Museveni goes and there is dissent within the army,” Nganda said.
Dr Bareebe echoed this concern: “A stand-off between the SFC and the regular army – each with its own loyalties, interests, and command structures – could trigger significant political instability and even violence, especially in the absence of a clear succession plan.”
But other analysts disagree, saying that this is where Gen Kainerugaba will come into his own given his long career with both the army and SFC.
They argue he is well placed to hold the rival factions together and ensure that the Museveni dynasty continues, guaranteeing stability in Uganda.
Such an outcome would of course be seen as undemocratic by the opposition.
Robert Kyagulanyi, a former pop star better known as Bobi Wine who is running against President Museveni for a second time next year, describes the unit as a “torture squad”.
Earlier this year Gen Kainerugaba threatened to behead the opposition leader, though he later deleted the “joke” tweet and apologised.
Bobi Wine told the BBC he and his colleagues were often targeted and beaten up by SFC officers – and he wants the squad disbanded.
“This is largely seen as the section in the military that is responsible for regime survival through brutality,” he said. “They operate with impunity and they operate under the protection of General Museveni and his son.”
Former Congolese President Joseph Kabila has announced a movement to “save” his country, after a meeting with other opposition leaders in Kenya’s capital Nairobi.
The meeting, held on Tuesday and Wednesday, resolved to rally Congolese to oppose the “dictatorship” of President Félix Tshisekedi, according to a document seen by the BBC.
Congolese government spokesman Patrick Muyaya dismissed it as a “non-event”, and a meeting of “fugitives and convicts”. Kenya’s foreign ministry has not responded to the BBC’s request for comment.
Kabila was recently sentenced to death back home for war crimes and treason. He rejected the charges as “arbitrary” but did not appear in court to defend himself.
Since May, his whereabouts have not been known until earlier this week when images of him in Nairobi surfaced on social media.
The meeting in Nairobi included former DR Congo Prime Minister Augustin Matata Ponyo, who was sentenced to a decade in prison for corruption in May.
Participants warned that DR Congo was facing a deepening crisis due to the government’s rejection of inclusive dialogue and poor economic governance.
They criticised Tshisekedi’s failure to enact policies to address urgent public needs, despite his full control of state power.
“From every corner and crevice of Congo, let us unite and take daily actions to save the DR Congo. Every gesture matters and will count toward victory and dignity,” they said in the 14-point declaration bearing the signatures of the leaders of 12 opposition and civil society groups.
They also denounced the “arbitrary detention of political leaders… [and] all the unfair judgments handed down by courts and tribunals against opposition leaders” and critics of the government.
They vowed to launch a diplomatic offensive to alert the international community to DR Congo’s crisis.
The Congolese government has previously expressed concerns over Kenya hosting opposition figures linked to the M23 rebels, who have seized large parts of eastern DR Congo, sparking a diplomatic row.
In 2023, opposition figure Corneille Nangaa announced the formation of the opposition Alliance Fleuve Congo from Nairobi. The group includes opposition figures and the M23.
Kabila ruled DR Congo from 2001 until 2019, after succeeding his father Laurent, who was shot dead in 2001.
Kabila backed Tshisekedi in the disputed elections of 2019, but they later fell out and Kabila went into self-imposed exile in 2023.
Tshisekedi accused Kabila of being the brains behind the M23 rebel group in eastern DR Congo and senators stripped him of his legal immunity, paving the way for his prosecution in a military court that led to the death sentence two weeks ago.
In April this year, the former president said he wanted to help find a solution to the deadly fighting in the east and arrived in the M23-held city of Goma the following month. He had not been seen in public since then until this week.
The meeting in Nairobi came as the Congolese government signed an agreement with the M23 in Doha to set up a way of monitoring their ceasefire.
Both sides have accused the other of breaking the deal.
Colonel Michael Randrianirina has been sworn in as the new president of Madagascar days after a military takeover on the Indian Ocean nation.
He succeeds ousted President Andry Rajoelina, who fled the country and was later impeached following weeks of youth-led protests demanding greater accountability from his government.
The ceremony took place at the Constitutional Court in the capital, Antananarivo, where a large crowd gathered to watch – including those who spearheaded the protests.
The country now enters a transition period, which will be full of political obstacles and legal uncertainty – though there is cautious optimism about Col Randrianirina’s leadership.
When taking power on Tuesday he said the military would form a government and hold elections within two years.
Ahead of Friday’s swearing-in, he added that reforming the electoral commission and cleaning up the voters’ roll were essential before fresh elections could be held, according to news site L’Express de Madagascar.
New details have emerged about the condition of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga during his final moments in India.
A CCTV footage seen by Uzalendo News has revealed the moment former Prime Minister Raila Odinga was rushed to an Indian hospital in an ambulance after collapsing.
The footage, dated October 15, shows medical staff urgently carrying Odinga on a stretcher and hurrying him into the Devamatha Hospital in Central Kerala.
Paramedics and other staff quickly gathered around the ambulance, ready to admit Raila to the hospital’s care unit. At the moment, one of the aides accompanying the former Prime Minister was seen attempting Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) as the other staff pulled the stretcher inside the hospital.
The video captured the tense moments as hospital staff wheeled the 80-year-old leader into the emergency section, showing the gravity of his medical situation.
Reports indicate that Raila had been walking near an Ayurvedic health facility when he collapsed in the company of his personal doctor and security aides.
Emergency responders administered CPR on-site before transferring him approximately 50 kilometres to Devamatha Hospital.
Medical sources at the facility confirmed that Odinga was unresponsive on arrival.
Hospital staff immediately initiated advanced resuscitation procedures, including CPR, defibrillation, and emergency medication.
Despite their efforts, doctors pronounced him dead at 9:52 a.m. local time (4:22 a.m. GMT) due to cardiac arrest.
Raila Odinga had travelled to India around early October for what his family described as routine medical check-ups and recuperation.
At the time, his condition was downplayed by close relatives, who said he was in good health and responding well to treatment.
His elder brother, Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga, assured the public that the ODM leader was “doing fine” and would soon return home.
“I want to take this opportunity to clarify this. There have been a lot of rumours about our party leader, Raila Odinga, that he is very sick, that he is almost dying, and that he is completely out,” Oburu stated.
“But I want to tell you that he is out and about, and he is just like any other human being who was indisposed a little. He is now recuperating and resting, but he was not in those conditions alleged,” he added.
These statements were widely circulated in local and international media, reassuring Kenyans that the former Prime Minister’s health was stable.
Speaking to the media outside the hospital on Wednesday, Dr. Alphons SABS revealed that the medical team used every possible life-saving intervention to try and save Raila Odinga.
According to the cardiologist, their efforts included Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) protocols and continuous Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in a final attempt to revive the ODM leader.
Dr. Alphons revealed that Raila Odinga was brought to the hospital’s emergency department with CPR already initiated by his attending doctor and security personnel.
The medical team continued resuscitation while performing emergency intubation, placing a tube in his trachea, along with other life-saving interventions.
Initially, there was no pulse or recordable blood pressure, even upon palpation. After intubation and continued CPR, the doctors shifted the patient to their ICU with all staff and facilities.
In the ICU, after some time, a heart rhythm appeared on the monitor, showing ST elevation in the anterior electrocardiogram leads, along with regional wall motion abnormalities, indicating reduced movement (hypokinesia) in the left anterior descending artery territory.
Kenya Airways has announced an increase in flights to Kisumu over the weekend to accommodate the surge in travel demand ahead of the funeral of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
In a statement on Friday, October 17, the airline said it has deployed additional flights and upgraded some aircraft to support Kenyans traveling to the lakeside city for the occasion.
“We have increased our flight frequency to Kisumu over the weekend to accommodate the high travel demand. We remain committed to ensuring seamless travel for all our guests,” KQ announced.
According to the updated schedule, two additional flights have been introduced for Friday, October 17, namely KQ656 at 1330 hours and KQ658 at 1900 hours.
On Saturday, October 18, an extra early-morning flight KQ650 at 0650 hours has been added, while KQ654 at 0805 hours has been upgraded to a larger Boeing 737 aircraft to cater to more passengers.
The adjustments continue into Sunday, October 19, when KQ654 (0805 hours) and KQ671 (1900 hours) will both operate using Boeing 737 aircraft, enhancing capacity for those returning to or from Kisumu.
On Monday, the carrier confirmed that KQ654 and KQ670 flights will also be upgraded to Boeing 737, ensuring continued efficiency for travelers.
Ahead of Raila’s funeral, airfares on the Nairobi–Kisumu route have soared.
As mourners and political delegations prepare to go to Nyanza for the last funeral ceremonies, the majority of flights have been reserved through the weekend.
Major carriers increased costs to between KSh 16,000 and KSh 23,000 for one-way tickets, which is over twice as costly as the route’s average price of KSh 8,000 to KSh 10,000.
An economy ticket to Kisumu costs KSh 16,565, according to a quick check on the Kenya Airways website.
However, Jambojet, a Kenya Airways affiliate, fixed the airfare for Thursday, October 16, and Friday, October 17, at KSh 19,500.
The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has extended the closure of a section of the Bomas-Kiserian (B19) for 42 days.
In a statement on Thursday, October 17, KeNHA said the section of the Bomas-Kiserian road between Galleria to after the Catholic University of Eastern Africa junction will remain closed from Monday, October 20 to Monday, December 1, 2025.
The authority noted that the closure is due construction of two box culverts along the affected stretch.
“The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) would like to inform the public of a temporary traffic disruption due to the closure of the Bomas – Kiserian (B19) Road from the section after Brookhouse/Galleria (Km 0+500) to the section after Catholic University of Eastern Africa junction (Km 1+000).
“This is due to scheduled roadworks for the construction of the 2No. Box Culverts on the road section from Monday, 20th October 2025, to Monday, 1st December 2025,” KeNHA stated.
The construction is part of infrastructure improvements to enhance road safety and connectivity.
The authority advised motorists to use the Langata Road – Langata South Road – Kiboko Road – Banda Lane – Magadi Road to get to their destinations.
Alternatively, motorists can use the Langata Road – Langata South Road – Kiboko Road – Mukoma Road – Magadi Road (near Shell Petrol Station).
“KeNHA advises motorists to follow the traffic diversion plan, project road signs, and cooperate with police and traffic marshals on site,” the authority added.
KeNHA had announced on August 22 the closure of the section from Thursday, August 29, 2025, to Monday, October 20, 2025.
The extension of the closure was prompted by delays in completing the construction of the two box culverts within the timeline.
