On Thursday, Raila Odinga accompanied President Kenyatta to the burial of Peter Kenneth's mother, Mama Rahab Wambui, in Gatanga, Murang'a County. The event took place on July 26, 2019.
Speaking at the burial, Odinga praised Kenneth's character, saying, 'We are here to condole with you for losing Mama Rahab, who brought up this man 'Muthongo wa Gatanga' (Kenneth's nickname) into the gentleman he is…. His ways, the way he handles his business and the way he presents himself you can see he is a gentleman. So, Mr. President, this man needs to be given a job in government.'
Odinga also called on leaders to rally behind Kenyatta's renewed fight against corruption, saying, 'We want to work together for the sake of the country. The country cannot move forward if we don’t unite and support this fight against corruption. There is no need of shifting blame, what we want to see is justice being served and the truth known.'
