Ruto accompanied by his Deputy Prof Kithure Kindiki, Prime
Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, and others, were meeting the family led by
widow Ida Odinga.
Raila's elder brother Oburu Oginga, who was in Kisumu, was
expected to arrive before the state and family addresses the public.
At the residence in Karen, mourners thronged in as they
wailed, mourning a man many called Baba.
Carrying twigs, some of the supporters of Raila sang funeral
dirges as emotions ran high.
"Baba is dead," some would be heard shouting and
crying as they rolled on the manicured grass compound.
Several ministers, governors, MPs, and ODM Party leaders
were in the home by press time.
Ruto, who was accompanied by several government officials, arrived at 10:40am.
Hundreds of residents have also arrived at the home.
Ruto is expected to address the nation following the death of the former prime minister.
