Nairobi DJ Announces December Roadshow to Honour Late Raila Odinga in Bondo

A Nairobi-based disc jockey has revealed plans to lead a roadshow from the capital to Bondo, Siaya County, on 27 December, where he and supporters intend to lay flowers and pay tribute at the late Raila Odinga’s gravesite.

The DJ shared the announcement through a video on his social media platforms, inviting Kenyans who “did not get the chance earlier” to join the convoy and help coordinate transport for the journey.

Raila Amolo Odinga passed away on 15 October 2025 while undergoing medical treatment in India. He was laid to rest four days later, on 19 October, at his Opoda Farm in Bondo.

Roadshow Plans and Logistics

According to the DJ, the convoy will leave Nairobi early on 27 December. He noted that specific details—including assembly points, the chosen route, and vehicle organisation—will be posted on his pages in the coming days.

He appealed for contributions toward fuel and transport and encouraged participants to organise pooled travel. The group also plans to carry a floral tribute to place at the burial site and will coordinate sound equipment for the procession.

He urged supporters to “tuhire manganya” to facilitate movement and called for volunteers to help with coordination and crowd management. A full itinerary will be shared once organisers confirm the number of vehicles and designated collection points.

Pilgrimages Continue After Odinga’s Burial

Since Odinga’s burial in October, a steady stream of national leaders, regional dignitaries, party officials and ordinary Kenyans has visited Opoda Farm to pay their respects. President William Ruto and other top leaders attended the memorial events and state funeral, which featured full military honours.

Wiper Party leader Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka also visited the Odinga homestead, presenting cattle as part of a traditional condolence gesture—an act widely covered in local media and rooted in long-standing Luo mourning customs.

The cultural significance of Odinga’s send-off has continued to draw supporters weeks after the burial. Many have made personal pilgrimages to light candles, lay flowers or observe moments of silence at the graveside, describing the visits as symbolic gestures of respect and remembrance.
