Siaya Senator Dr. Oburu Oginga appealed to mourners in Kisumu and Siaya to remain calm during the homecoming of his late brother, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s body, on Saturday. He urged respect for the solemnity of the occasion and discouraged any actions that could provoke security forces, stating that Raila had been "tear-gassed enough in life."

• Body of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to be airlifted to Kisumu's Mamboleo Grounds by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) arriving around 8 a.m. on Saturday.
• DP Kithure Kindiki outlined the program for the public viewing in Kisumu before the body proceeds to Bondo for an overnight stay ahead of Sunday's burial.
• The appeal follows incidents at Kasarani Stadium on Thursday, where a stampede and security intervention reportedly led to three deaths and multiple injuries during public viewing.
