Opinion: Raila Odinga’s Message to Sifuna and Babu Owino

“My sons, Sifuna and Babu, I have walked a long journey with the ODM family. Today, I hand over this movement — our home — into your hands.

I want you to remember that ODM is not just a political party. It is a vision, a belief, and a dream that was built on the sweat, courage, and sacrifice of many. Guard it with your lives. Nurture it. Grow it.

Let ODM continue to be the voice of the people — the poor, the forgotten, and the voiceless. Strengthen it, make it more vibrant, more united, and more focused on the future of this country.

Don’t abandon it. ODM is your home, and the home of millions who still believe in the ideals of democracy, justice, and equality.

I wish you well as you take on this new responsibility. Lead with humility, with courage, and with the spirit of service. Keep the fire burning.

The journey continues, and the future is now in your hands. Go forth and make ODM even stronger — make it a movement that commands respect and draws the attention and trust of our people.

I have faith in you. God bless you, and God bless ODM.”
