During chaotic scenes at the funeral of the late Raila Amolo Odinga in Bondo, Siaya County, a police firearm was stolen from an officer attached to the VIP protection team of the Kakamega Governor.

• The stolen weapon was a Jericho pistol, serial number 40309458, loaded with 15 rounds of 9mm ammunition.
• The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday as the Governor of Kakamega was departing the ceremony at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOUST).
• The firearm was snatched by a group of rowdy youth from No. 102661 PC Benson Kodia Olayo, an officer from GSU Headquarters, Ruaraka.

Moments after dignitaries, including President William Ruto, departed, hundreds of mourners stormed the private gravesite of former prime minister Raila Odinga at Kang'o Ka Jaramogi in Bondo, Siaya County. This intrusion defied the family's repeated requests for a private ceremony.

• Mourners breached security, destroying wreaths and decorations, while chanting and dancing, with some climbing onto the mausoleum roof.
• The crowd, described as "excited mourners," overwhelmed security personnel, bringing seven bulls, spears, shields, and green leaves, symbolizing a ritual to "chase away demons."
• The incident echoed a similar event on October 16, when thousands stormed JKIA upon Raila's body arrival, forcing a change in viewing location.

Raila Odinga, former Prime Minister of Kenya, was laid to rest at his rural home in Kang’o Ka Jaramogi, Bondo, Siaya County, on Sunday, October 19, with a rare 17-gun salute as part of his state funeral.

• The 17-gun salute is reserved for former heads of government like Prime Ministers and Vice Presidents, a category Raila Odinga fit into due to his service from 2008 to 2013.
• The ceremony included a military escort, ceremonial drill, and national tributes from dignitaries, with Raila's casket draped in the Kenyan flag.
• Raila Odinga joins a select group of Kenyans accorded state funerals, including past presidents Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel Arap Moi, and Mwai Kibaki.

Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has raised concerns regarding the influx of casualties at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) following a stampede at the Moi International Stadium, Kasarani, during a public viewing. Omtatah reported that KNH is struggling with the overwhelming number of patients and limited resources.

• Over 40 casualties were admitted to KNH from the incident, with one person reported deceased.
• Senator Okiya Omtatah visited KNH and met with the Head of the Emergency and Accident Unit, pledging to push for government intervention to cover treatment costs for victims.
• Many injured individuals are still expected to cover their own medical expenses, with only a small number qualifying for emergency waivers.
• The stampede at Kasarani Stadium occurred after police fired tear gas to disperse a large crowd, leading to chaos and unconfirmed reports of stone-throwing from the crowd.
