EALA Member of Parliament Winnie Odinga has revealed she has never returned to Kang'o Ka Jaramogi in Bondo, where her father was laid to rest, since his burial. Speaking to Edmund Obilo on his YouTube channel, Winnie said it has been nearly a year since her last visit to her father's gravesite, despite many others traveling there to pay respects to the former Prime Minister.

"I personally have not returned. No. It’s almost one year. Yeah, I will. Maybe in the year October," she said. Winnie added that a committee is in place to organize a grand memorial for her late father in Bondo, set to take place during his anniversary in October. The memorial will feature both traditional and religious rites, emphasizing celebration rather than sadness, reflecting her father's wish for funerals to be solemn celebrations.
