Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and his wife, Margaret Kenyatta, were among the dignitaries who visited the Raila Odinga family to condole with them following the death of the former Prime Minister in India.

Others also spotted during the visit include former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama, Siaya Governor James Orengo and his Kisii counterpart Simba Arati, among others.

Raila, who celebrated his 80th birthday in January, this year died just a few weeks after his agemate and former ally Dalmas Otieno died.

A family source said President William Ruto was informed of Raila’s desire shortly after he arrived at Raila’s home in Karen.

“Mzee put it in his Will that he should be interred within 72 hours; the President has been told to work around those timelines,” the source added.
