The flight of Kenya Airways number KQ203, renamed RAO001 in honor of the late leader, landed at three in the morning, carrying the body of Raila Odinga, the former Prime Minister of Kenya and an important pillar in the democratic journey of this nation.
Winnie, Raila’s youngest daughter, was among the mourners who disembarked from the plane, her face showing inner strength and calm despite the grief.

In Winnie’s hands was a white fedora hat, a symbol that was her father’s unique symbol, which has now become a sacred memory and an eternal legacy.
