A recent video circulating online has sparked mixed reactions among Kenyans, capturing a brief yet awkward moment between Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti and Ida Odinga, the wife of the late Raila Odinga. The clip shows Ndeti approaching Ida, who was surrounded by other leaders, and offering a gentle yet brief hug. The interaction has led to speculation among Kenyans.
The visit was part of a larger delegation of leaders from Ukambani, including Kalonzo Musyoka, who came to pay their respects to the Odinga family at Opodo Farm. During the visit, Ndeti expressed gratitude to Ida Odinga for the warm welcome she received. In a heartfelt social media post, Ndeti acknowledged Ida’s strength and resilience, drawing from her own experience of loss. She also paid tribute to her personal connection with Ida, whom she had known since her days as a teacher.
The delegation, which included religious, political, and professional figures from the Kamba community, presented cows as symbols of unity and solidarity to the Odinga family. They later laid wreaths at Kang’o ka Jaramogi to honor the late Raila Odinga’s legacy, recognizing his commitment to democracy, justice, and empowering counties through devolution.
