Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga was absent from the funeral of Chief Defence Forces (CDF) Francis Ogolla.
Raila Odinga was conspicuously missing during the burial of the Chief Defence Forces (CDF) Francis Ogolla in Siaya.
At the burial service, Raila’s older brother and Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga offered condolences, mentioning that Raila was unwell.
Oburu Odinga said his brother was ill and thus could not make it to Ogolla’s Send-off ceremony.
“I stand here on behalf of the late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga family whom I represent. I bring the condolences of my brother Raila Odinga who sent me. He is a bit indisposed therefore he would not come personally,” said Oburu.
