Raila Odinga’s family delivered moving tributes that painted a deeply personal portrait of the late former Prime Minister — a national figure revered by millions, but also a loving husband, father, and brother at home.

His elder brother, Senator Oburu Oginga, spoke with visible emotion as he described Raila as more than just a sibling.

“He was my friend, my age-mate, my adviser, and my confidant — he was everything, including a business partner,” Oburu said, recalling the decades they shared side by side in family, politics, and business.

His words reflected the unbreakable bond that defined their journey together through both triumphs and trials.

Mama Ida Odinga, his wife of 52 years, also offered a heartfelt reflection. With a mix of nostalgia and tenderness, she recounted the stories behind the names of their four children — Fidel, Rosemary, Raila Jr., and Winnie.

Each name, she said, carried meaning drawn from their shared history, political struggles, and global influences that touched their lives.

She described their marriage as a partnership that endured sacrifice, prison terms, and political turbulence, yet remained grounded in love and mutual respect.

Raila Junior, the last-born son of legendary ODM leader Raila Odinga, was spotted with his father's iconic fly whisk and Jaramogi's signature hat in what could speak to bigger roles he is tipped for following his father's demise.

Their daughter Rosemary Odinga described her father as a man of integrity, compassion, and wisdom.

To the country, he was “Baba,” but to his family, she said, he was a present and loving father, a devoted husband, and a doting grandfather.

“You were my confidant, my adviser, and my dear friend,” she said, adding that he taught her resilience, forgiveness, and the courage to stand for what she believes in.
