Raila sadly died of a heart attack in India, where he had gone to seek treatment, and many people were surprised to learn that he was going to be buried within 72 hours.
Despite the short notice, many came from various parts of the country and the world to give a befitting send-off to a man many knew as the people’s president.
“I mourn Raila so much…he impacted my mum’s education. I remember the day Raila met with my mother and offered to pay her college fees and that thing touched me; I said come what may I will go and bury baba,” said Murunga.

“But I know that one day we will meet with baba, go well baba,” he added.
Damaris Akinyi from Kakamega arrived in Bondo three days ago, and she says she loved Raila for the way he used to fight for the rights of the downtrodden. She urged the spirit of Raila to help in choosing another leader for the poor Kenyans.

What stood out at Raila’s burial?
How did Kenyans react to the story?
@pamelaofulla7417:
“I was so surprised to know the real person Raila was. He touched many hearts. I used to buy rumours from people that Baba is a stingy person. Kumbe ni uwongo. He helped many people chini ya maji. The Bible says what the right hand has given, the left hand should not know. That is what Raila was practising.”
@emaliagnes:
“It is in deep sorrow Baba you have passed; you have left a big gap we don’t know where we are heading because we have politicians but not leaders. May you rest in God’s arms. Wherever you are. Please choose for us a true leader, till we meet again.”
@PatriciaOlendo:
“Nimesikia vibaya.”
@helenpaul8319:
“African presidents please! listen to your young youths.”
@SylviaOjode:
RIP Raila:
“May you find solace in God brother thanks for a coming to bury Raila.”
