Opposition leader Raila Odinga’s family marked nine years since the untimely demise of their kin Fidel Castro Odinga.
Fidel, the first-born son of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga was found dead in his bed on January 4, 2015, after a night out with his friends.
In her ninth-anniversary remembrance message, Ida Betty Odinga, the wife of the veteran politician Raila Odinga indicated how it has been hard for her, to come to terms with the death of her son.
“Nine years later, I have struggled to accept something that these years without you have taught me. Perhaps, you may have just lived enough because you lived so right. Your passing away, no doubt, shook me and shook us. Nothing in this world will ever be able to replace your presence around us,” she said on her Facebook page on Thursday, January 4.
