During Raila Odinga's funeral, his nephew, Jaramogi Oranga, lightened the mood with a humorous reference to Uhuru Kenyatta's earlier "porridge" joke, expressing a wish to have shared the drink to calm his nerves before speaking.

• Oranga, the son of Raila's sister Dr. Wenwa Akinyi Oranga, delivered a tribute that blended nervous honesty with humor, earning chuckles from mourners and dignitaries.
• The "porridge" joke originated from former President Uhuru Kenyatta's remarks at Raila's State Funeral in Nairobi, where he playfully recalled sharing a drink with Raila, later clarifying it was "porridge (uji) or tea."
• Despite the initial levity, Oranga's speech transitioned to a heartfelt acknowledgment of Raila's legacy in promoting courage, democracy, and unity, stating that Raila "made it possible for us to challenge authority."
