  "account": "Winnie Odinga, the late Prime Minister Raila Odinga's daughter, has urged political leaders to maintain a ceasefire ahead of his October 15 memorial service. She made the appeal during a ceremony in Bondo, cautioning against using the day for political advantage. Winnie emphasized that the memorial should be a day of remembrance and celebration, not a platform for rivalries. She reminded attendees that they could still hold differing political beliefs, as Raila's legacy was one of inclusivity. Winnie drew parallels with Raila's reconciliation with former President Moi, suggesting that the same spirit of compromise should guide the upcoming commemoration. She highlighted the importance of upholding the democratic freedoms that Raila dedicated his life to, warning that the current political climate could erode those rights.",
