Have Kenyans healed from Raila Odinga’s death?
Sammyro played Raila Duogi Dala, a song by Lady Maureen.
Since the death of Raila Odinga, the song has echoed across streets, radios, and social media.
Recorded over a decade ago, it has taken on fresh significance as a tribute to the late leader.
The 12-minute track has become a collective expression of grief, remembrance, and the deep connection between the leader and his supporters.
In the song, Maureen celebrates Raila as a visionary and resilient leader, recalling the nation’s struggles during his three-month absence in the United States in 2014.
“Raila ji dwari… Agwambo ji dwari… Jakom ji dwari… Baba ji dwari… Raila come home… Raila come home… Raila come home… Agwambo come home…” part of the hook goes.
The middle-aged man was passing by when he heard the song and stopped his vehicle at the petrol station’s exit.
“He was passing and couldn’t go,” Sammyro said.
The camera then zoomed in to show the man in a white T-shirt crying inside his vehicle.
“Will his people ever heal?” Sammyro asked.
Numerous Kenyans asked the comedian why he did not approach the crying man, and he said that it was hard to see him cry.
Sammyro admitted that he might also have broken down had he engaged with the man.
