CONDOLENCE MESSAGE ON THE PASSING OF THE RIGHT HONOURABLE RAILA ODINGA
TO THE PEOPLE OF KENYA AND THE ORANGE DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT
On behalf of the People's Progressive Party of South Sudan, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family of the Right Honourable Raila Odinga, the entire Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) fraternity, and the people of Kenya, following the tragic news of his passing.
The late Raila Odinga was a towering figure whose legacy as a voice for the voiceless and a tireless advocate for good governance extends far beyond Kenya's borders.
His dedication to democratic reform and justice was an inspiration to many across East Africa and the continent. His leadership, resilience, and commitment to the welfare of his people will be profoundly missed.
We recall his significant contributions to regional stability, including his instrumental role in mediating the power-sharing agreement that ended the 2007–08 post-election violence in Kenya. He leaves behind a legacy of selfless service and an unwavering commitment to dialogue and reform, demonstrating that a better, more inclusive political system is always within reach.
As the people of Kenya mourn this immense loss, we stand in solidarity with you during this period of grief. May his legacy continue to inspire future generations of leaders to uphold the principles of justice, democracy, and good governance for which he so passionately fought.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Hon. Adv. Gabriel Kuot Akok Deng
Founder and President,
People's Progressive Party of South Sudan
