The President eulogised him as a patriot and a man of great integrity.

He described the late Oduor as a confidant of the former Prime Minister and a man of immeasurable loyalty who could be trusted with anything.

“I'm here because George demonstrated beyond any doubt that he is a Kenyan who has demonstrated competence as a security officer. Competence and integrity as a confidant and he has shown immeasurable loyalty as a Kenyan patriot and trusted with the security of Raila Odinga.

“George, though being a very humble security officer and because I believe very strongly in the bottom-up principle, that's why I have come here to celebrate this humble person who has demonstrated great loyalty.”
