Raila’s uncle(Odinga’s brother) finally reveals the secret why Raila was so powerful than any other leader.
“Raila was not just an ordinary person. He was given power with Ondeto when his father called Ondeto to pray for them because their enemies were getting hard to handle “
And this why Raila survived everything that was formed against him and died his natural death written in bible.

Remember Ondeto had extra ordinary powers and is also worshipped and believed to be the god in some religions.
