Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has backed Siaya Governor James Orengo, who has recently raised questions surrounding the death of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Speaking during a church service at PCEA Utawala on Sunday, February 22, 2026, the Wiper leader noted that James Orengo has been demanding answers regarding the death of the late veteran politician Raila Odinga.
He stated that for the matter to be put to rest, a thorough probe into Raila’s death should be conducted so that the country can know the truth about what killed the former prime minister.
He further added that some people, after Raila’s death, are fighting to associate themselves with his legacy.
“James Orengo has been speaking since Raila Amolo Odinga left us. He has a lot of questions. And so Jim was very categorical. Alisema kuwa Raila aliuliwa; in order to deal with that lingering issue, I would want to suggest a thorough inquest so that Kenyans can know the truth,” Kalonzo said.
This comes a day after the Siaya Governor, during a rally in Kakamega, stated that the late Raila Odinga was killed by people he did not reveal.
He further stated that the same people he believes were behind the late leader’s death have embarked on a mission to finish his Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, which he built and led for two decades since its inception in 2005.
This was not the first time he had raised such concerns. During a press conference following the removal of Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna from the ODM Secretary General position, he echoed similar sentiments.
He further added that at the right time, he would come out to speak on what really led to the late leader’s death.
Raila Odinga’s sister, Ruth Odinga, who held Raila’s hand as he breathed his last, recently spoke out and expressed similar concerns. She stated that at the appropriate time, she would reveal what caused the late Odinga’s death.
Democracy for Citizens Deputy Party leader Cleophas Malala himself has also come out to raise questions on what killed Raila Odinga, believing that the late did not die of natural causes
Howeve Raila Odinga’s long-serving aide Dennis Onyango, recently ruled out foul play in his death. He stated that although the late leader had been receiving treatment both before leaving Kenya and while abroad, he was never in bad shape and appeared stable despite battling certain ailments.
