Raila Odinga Supporters Demand Statues in all 47 Kenyan Counties

In a shocking turn of events following the death of prominent Kenyan politician Raila Odinga, his supporters have come forward demanding that a statue be erected in his honor in each of Kenya’s 47 counties. Odinga, who passed away after a long battle with illness in a hospital in India, was a significant figure in Kenyan politics and is revered by many for his contributions to the country.

The news of Odinga’s death came as a blow to his supporters, who had been holding vigil outside the hospital where he was being treated. As soon as the news broke, there was an outpouring of grief and tributes from across the country, with many people expressing their sadness at the loss of such a influential figure.

President Ruto, who was a long-time political rival of Odinga, also expressed his condolences and ordered a seven-day period of mourning in honor of the former leader. Despite their political differences, Ruto acknowledged Odinga’s contributions to the country and his impact on the Kenyan political landscape.

However, it is the demand for statues in all 47 counties that has caused the most controversy in the wake of Odinga’s death. While some of his supporters argue that he deserves to be honored in this way, others have questioned the necessity of such a gesture and the cost involved in erecting statues across the country.

Supporters of the former leader have pointed to Odinga’s long history of fighting for democracy and social justice in Kenya as reasons for honoring him in this manner. They believe that the statues would serve as a reminder of his legacy and the sacrifices he made for the country.

On the other hand, critics have argued that the money spent on building statues could be better used to address more pressing issues in the country, such as poverty and healthcare. They have also raised concerns about the precedent that would be set by erecting statues of political figures in every county.

In the meantime, the country will continue to mourn the loss of a political giant and reflect on the impact that Raila Odinga had on Kenya and its people. Whether or not statues are erected in his honor, his legacy will undoubtedly live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew and admired him.
