Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has paid an emotional tribute to the late former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga, describing him as a "best friend," "father," and "African giant." Odinga, aged 80, passed away on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, in Kochi, India, after collapsing during treatment.

• Raila Odinga was described as a "towering figure" in Kenyan politics whose death left a profound void.
• MP Sudi reminisced about knowing Raila since 2004 through his late son, Fidel Odinga, and working closely with him when Raila was Prime Minister.
• Sudi announced that residents of Uasin Gishu and the broader Rift Valley region would hold local memorial gatherings, with a public viewing screen at Sport Club starting Sunday for mourners.
