Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has called out individuals who spread false information about the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s health.
Millie said that as Christians, they will be forgiven but not forgotten.
Speaking during Raila’s funeral service, Millie recounted her last conversation with the ODM leader, revealing that he appeared strong and in good spirits shortly before his passing.
“I talked to Raila on Monday evening when he was with Adhiambo. I want to confirm that he said ODM needs to be united as a party,” she said.
“When I asked him, ‘Baba, how are you?’ he told me jokingly, ‘Amilo, I’m fine, in the morning I walked around. I’m surprised there are people who have already killed and buried me in Kenya.”
Millie criticised those who had circulated rumours about Raila’s health, saying that while his supporters would forgive them as Christians, they would never forget the pain caused.
“For those who killed and buried Raila before his time, because we are Christians, we will forgive you but we will never forget. For those who stood with Raila, we shall never forget. I thank President William Ruto.”

Before his passing, Raila’s health had been the subject of public speculation.
His elder brother, Senator Oburu Odinga, had recently assured Kenyans that Raila was recuperating well in India and dismissed reports that he was in critical condition.
“I want to tell you that Raila is up and about. Just like any other human being, he was indisposed a little and is now recuperating and resting,” Oburu said last week.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party had also denounced rumours surrounding his health, accusing political rivals of spreading falsehoods to undermine his standing.
Despite occasional hospital visits, including brain fluid drainage surgery in Dubai and minor back surgery years ago, Raila remained politically active, championing unity and governance reforms until his final days.
