Kenyans have been called upon to emulate the selflessness of former Prime Minister, the late Raila Odinga who has left an indelible mark on Kenya’s political and social fabric.

In a message delivered on Sunday during the burial service of Odinga at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOUST), Bishop Emeritus Joseph Otieno Wasonga of the Anglican Church requested Kenyans to pick something positive out of his legacy and belief of a better country.

He also called on Kenyans to honor the legacy of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga by rejecting all forms of gender-based violence as he championed against the vice throughout his life.

Bishop Wasonga reminded the mourners that the late Raila was a lifelong crusader for equality and justice.

He further called on the nation to continue Raila’s fight for gender equality by ensuring that more women are elected to leadership positions across the country, noting that the late Prime Minister was a champion of women’s empowerment and equal representation.
