Raila Junior has revealed why he decided to dress in white for his father's funeral service.
Thousands of mourners have gathered to bid farewell to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Bondo.
However, unlike the normal black code, Junior stepped out dressed in white.
Addressing mourners during the funeral service at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology in Bondo, Junior said he is taking the day to celebrate the life of Raila.
"You can see me here, I'm dressed in white because I feel the past three days we have mourned Baba, we have cried for Baba, I myself, I've been very exhausted, but I've stood strong because I know that is what Baba would have wanted," he said.
"Today, we are not mourning, we are celebrating a life well lived, we are celebrating Baba at 80, because Baba lived and he lived his life through so the rest of us today we are celebrating Baba and his legacy," he explained.
He said that as a family, they will man a man they have called father and who taught them how to live a good life.
He described Raila as a man full of fun and laughter.
"Baba gave all of us his life. You gave all of us your life, you stayed with us, and you showed us how to live our good life, and for that we are extremely thankful. Baba, you left us with your vitendawilis. We will miss them, we will miss your fun, your joy, your laughter, and we will miss you."
