Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga /FILE
As an adult, I first met Raila Odinga, formally, in October 2007. He was the presidential candidate for Orange Democratic Movement. This is how. Every Tuesday afternoon, I would meet my father, Wilson Ndolo Ayah for tea.
He had retired from politics. We would catch up and by about 6.30 pm, close the conversation for the next week. That Tuesday he asked me, who would win the presidential election? We discussed and he said, “I am meeting Honourable Raila Odinga and I want you with me. I am going to support him, and you need to do the same.”
