Oburu was among the ODM Party dignitaries who attended the funeral of Otieno Kajwang’s widow, Rose Otieno, at her hometown.
Rose, who was a lecturer at Kenyatta University, died on October 30 after a battle with illness.
At her memorial, her son, David Brian Ajwang’, shared a moving tribute where he recalled his dark days as a drunkard.
According to him, when his dad, the senator, died, he fell into depression and started abusing substances, and it took God and his mum to get him out.
At Rose’s burial, Oburu also had a light moment, cracking up mourners with his confession about the renowned bad girl politician, Millie.
In his words:
“I knew Millie Gesa Gesa through Kajwang. That time, we were doing campaigns for Raila. Kajwang and I agreed that Raila will be doing campaigns above, but we were to talk to people at the grassroots level. We were to mobilise them so they come out in huge numbers. When we went to Busia, we found that she had arranged everything, where people would sleep, what they would eat and the platforms they would speak on. Kajwang and I were just doing politics. Millie had done everything else. I loved Millie because of that. She was so beautiful that sometimes she would confuse me. We did campaigns for Jakom with her.”

How many wives does Oburu have?
The celebrated ‘youth leader’ had a light moment at his brother, Raila’s, state funeral, which was at Nyayo Stadium, leaving Kenyans in stitches.
He introduced his two wives and revealed the reasons he chose to get a second spouse.
According to him, he noted that his first wife was getting old and a little weak, so he brought in another woman to help her out.
While introducing the two women, Oburu also spotlighted their professions and the impact they had as opposed to just being his wives.
