Mbita MP Milly Odhiambo Narrates Her Last Moments With Fidel Odinga. Did He Tell Her Farewell?

Fidel Odinga bowed down in unclear circumstances last Sunday after a night out with friends, and the mystery surrounding his sudden and untimely demise is yet to unraveled after pathologists who conducted an autopsy on his remains failed to establish the cause of the opposition leader’s son.

And as preparations for his sendoff which will take place on Saturday are underway, condolences and stories about Fidel are tickling in from all corners of the republic and beyond.

Stories have told about the 41-year old father of one, with everyone who knew Fidel giving an account of how and where they met the deceased.

Mbita MP, Millie Mabona Odhiambo is the latest high profile person to give an account of the last moments she shared with the late Fidel.

Mabona says that she met Fidel somewhere just before Christmas and was giving out presents to people. They had a brief chat and Fidel literally bid her farewell.

The words that Fidel told her are hitting her now and she is realizing it was just a farewell.

Here is what the legislator said:

I last saw Fidel just before Xmas @ Ruby Cut, a place he loved. He had attracted a group of taxi drivers, waiters, shop attendants and passers by that he was giving Xmas gifts to. I joked and asked for my Xmas gift and he told me as a Mhesh I should “gonye” instead. Then he said if I don’t see you “Merry Xmas and Happy New Year”. What is said of Fidel is very true. Was very friendly, generous and humble. R.I.P
