[PHOTOS] Uhuru and Margaret Kenyatta visit Ida Odinga

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and his wife, Margaret Kenyatta, were among the dignitaries who visited the Raila Odinga family to condole with them following the death of the former Prime Minister in India.

Others also spotted during the visit include former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama, Siaya Governor James Orengo and his Kisii counterpart Simba Arati, among others.

Raila, who celebrated his 80th birthday in January, this year died just a few weeks after his agemate and former ally Dalmas Otieno died.

A family source said President William Ruto was informed of Raila’s desire shortly after he arrived at Raila’s home in Karen.

“Mzee put it in his Will that he should be interred within 72 hours; the President has been told to work around those timelines,” the source added.

Following the revelations, the family member Raila is set to be buried by Sunday in the family’s graveyard in Kango Ka Jaramogi, Nyamira, Bondo, beside his late father Jaramogi and son Fidel’s graves.

In a detailed funeral programme seen by the Star, there are four sittings in the planning of Oding'a's burial: one at his Karen home, Opoda home, Kisumu city and the Nairobi committee.

The body will arrive at the Lee Funeral Home on Thursday at 8:30 am from the airport and then head to Parliament for a public veiwing.

A public prayer service will be held at the Nyayo Stadium on Friday, followed by a burial on Sunday.
