Five months after the passing of Raila Odinga, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has stated he is awaiting an invitation from the Odinga family to visit their home in Bondo and offer his condolences.

• Rigathi Gachagua expressed his willingness to visit Bondo after reaching out to Raila's widow, Ida Odinga, who indicated she would respond at an appropriate time.
• Gachagua cited security concerns and intelligence reports of planned attacks as reasons for not attending funeral ceremonies, aiming to prevent ethnic conflict.
• He emphasized that respect dictates he cannot visit the family home without a formal invitation.
