Maurice Ogeta, the late Raila Odinga’s longtime bodyguard, welcomed mourners at his Uyoma home quietly.
The Monday gathering in Rarieda Constituency drew relatives and friends offering comfort after heartbreaking news.
They came to console Ogeta following the death of the leader he loyally served faithfully.
For more than eighteen years, Ogeta guarded Raila, becoming one of his closest confidants professionally.
He was reportedly among the final people to see Raila before his passing in India.
Since the loss, observers note Ogeta appears shaken, carrying visible grief and emotional weight daily.
On Monday, prominent visitors arrived, reflecting the wide respect shared for both men nationally today.
Among them were Moses Kuria, George Wajackoyah, Nuru Okanga, and Principal Secretary Oluga who attended.
They shared a hearty breakfast, quiet conversations, and gestures meant to steady Ogeta during mourning.
Images circulating online revealed a tasteful living room with cream sofas and expansive television screen.
Despite comfort and elegance, the house felt subdued, mirroring the owner’s heavy heart during bereavement.
Friends observed that Ogeta has kept away from public attention since the tragedy struck suddenly.
The change marks a profound transition after losing a mentor, employer, and trusted friend simultaneously.
Raila Odinga died on October fifteenth in India while receiving specialized medical care abroad there.
His death sent shockwaves across Kenya’s political landscape and among supporters worldwide who mourned deeply.
A state funeral followed, drawing dignitaries from many nations to honor his legacy with reverence.
He was laid to rest in Bondo on October nineteenth at his ancestral home peacefully.
The opposition icon succumbed to cardiac arrest aged eighty, leaving enduring national memories behind forever.
