Uhuru visits Raila’s grave in Bondo day after burial


Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has paid a solemn visit to the grave of the late former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga in Bondo, Siaya County, a day after the statesman was laid to rest.

Arriving quietly at the Odinga family home in Kang’o Ka Jaramogi, Uhuru joined family members in what became a deeply personal moment of reflection.

In a vedio by MUTEMBEI MKENYA MEDIA  Uhuru walked to the fresh gravesite, where Raila was interred on Sunday, October 19, 2025 and stood in silence as he paid his respects.

The former President bowed his head in prayer, remaining still for several moments.

At one point, he extended his hand towards the grave before continuing his silent reflection. He later clasped his hands together and prayed, his head lowered throughout the solemn act.

The intimate moment came with several members who stood nearby, offering quiet support.

The atmosphere was heavy with emotion, as the family and Uhuru honoured the memory of the man who was not only a political ally at one time, but also a long-standing friend.

Uhuru’s visit carried deep symbolic weight.

Throughout his presidency, he and Raila shared both rivalry and unity, culminating in the historic 2018 “handshake” that reshaped Kenya’s political landscape.
