Siaya Senator Oburu Oginga did not know he had been made the acting party leader of his late brother’s Orange Democratic Movement when the decision was made, he said in a recent televised interview.
Walking in Raila Odinga’s shadow as long as he had, and in their late father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga’s, Dr Oburu hardly needed a heads-up to take over the party’s leadership if it came to that, as it did with the former prime minister’s passing.
