The DAAD was deeply saddened by the death of the former Prime Minister Hon. Raila Odinga.
Raila studied mechanical engineering in Germany, at the Technical School of Magdeburg in the late 1960s. His wife, Ida Odinga, in conversation with the German Ambassador to Kenya, described Raila as half-German.
The Right Honourable Raila Odinga C.G.H., also known as the father of democracy in Kenya, led a life full of political struggle and dedication to the people. He was referred to as the people’s president, and his death has been a real blow to the nation and beyond.
As the nation is still observing seven days of national mourning, the DAAD wishes to convey its deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya. Rest in Peace, Baba.
