Hon Caleb Amisi unleashed raw emotions over the sudden death of Kenya’s iconic opposition leader, Raila Odinga on Obinna Show Live. The news hit like a thunderbolt former Prime Minister “Baba” gone too soon. Amisi, a longtime admirer, admits the shock lingers: “It was a sudden blow, but I had to believe it anyway.”
Rumors and a Health Mystery
Mourning clouds the air, but Amisi promises questions will fly once the tears dry. “When the period ends, we’ll start asking,” he vows. Doubts gnaw at him: If Raila was truly ill, why the unorganized care? “There’s a big gap there. Why handle Baba’s health so carelessly in that rundown hospital? To me, it feels like a dream.” Said Caleb Amisi.
Security woes at the airport funeral send chills too. “There can be lapses where KDF is involved it’s all part of the state funeral chaos,” Amisi laments. He points fingers at those closest to Raila: “People around Baba didn’t care for him. Look how fast they’ve moved on. Their interest was in what they could grab while riding his wave.”
Raila Odinga’s Legacy
Amisi’s tribute paints Raila as a titan. “I looked at his history from starting in politics, fighting for good governance, multipartism, and a new constitution.” No sugarcoating for rivals: “What can you pin on Ruto’s name? Nothing.” The ultimate gut-punch? “The same folks who dubbed him an enigma, Baba they’re the ones who stabbed him in the back.”
ODM Party Shake-Up
Eyes turn to rising figures like Babu Owino. Amisi’s advice? “He should run for Nairobi governor on an ODM or DCP ticket.” For ODM’s soul, he urges wisdom: “Let a council of elders who sweated in the struggle with Baba lead it. No one can steer that party like he did.”
On Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s quiet streak, Amisi shifts gears: “We need national politics, not tribal games. Sell the big-picture agenda people will back you without the local drama.”
Amisi’s outpouring isn’t just lament; it’s a rally cry. In Raila’s shadow, Kenya must heal, question boldly, and chase unity. As the nation buries a legend, will his betrayers fade, or will new guardians rise?
