Sifuna: We will stand with Raila Odinga’s family

Senator Edwin Sifuna has pledged his unwavering support for the family of the late former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga. During a church service at Jesus Teaching Ministry (JTM) Church in Donholm, Embakasi East, on Sunday, Sifuna condemned attacks against Raila's widow and children, stating he and loyal supporters would continue backing the family.

Criticizing some leaders who abandoned Raila's family shortly after his death, Sifuna accused them of changing political positions when the former Prime Minister's close associates distanced themselves from his legacy. The senator also denounced political figures who insulted Raila's widow Ida Odinga and his children, though he did not name them.

Sifuna's comments followed Raila's family gathering in Bondo, Siaya County, on October 15, marking the first anniversary of his passing. Describing those who exploited Raila's absence as locusts, Sifuna believed God would restore what had been lost. He framed his pledge to support Raila's family as part of preserving his legacy and standing by those closest to him, emphasizing the need for respect for the family regardless of political differences.
