Bondo MP Gideon Ochanda has described the late Raila Odinga as a teacher, mentor and father figure, saying his relationship with the former Prime Minister was deeply personal and built on mutual trust for more than three decades.
“My knowledge and relationship with Raila has been very personal. There are many things I learnt from him as a teacher, mentor and a father. I have lost somebody whom I was fairly close with,” said Ochanda as he mourned the ODM leader’s death on Wednesday.
