Raila Exposes Weta and Other Politicians

 Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga opened up for the first time and revealed what transpired immediately after his eldest son, Fidel Odinga, died. 

In an interview with KTN at his home in Karen, Raila revealed how he received the sad news of the passing away of his son, saying he got it from his wife, Ida, who received a call from her daughter, Rosemary, in Kisumu informing her of the same after being told by Fidel’s wife Lwam - Raila was coming from the gym by then and was still in his gym gear. 

Immediately, Raila and his wife jumped into the car and drove themselves to Fidel's house where they found paramedics trying to resuscitate him in vain. 

The former PM noted that he tried to reach out to his friends, out of desperation, to broach the sad news but they ‘betrayed’ him, being a Sunday, many had switched off their phones. 

He said he tried calling his elder brother, Oburu, but his phone was not going through. He tried Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetangula and James Orengo among other close friends and relatives but their phones were switched off. 

Raila noted that the only person who answered his call after his close friends refused was his sister-in-law who was shocked by the devastating news.
