“Today when we celebrate his life, I choose not only to remember the leader that everyone knew but the father that I loved with all my being, most of my life I died on October 15, the spirit of the lion roars forever, I was with him in India when he took his last breath, he died in my arms, but he did not die as people have been saying on social networks,” he said.
Raila loved to walk, and every day he added a walking cycle to his routine.
On that fateful day, Winnie said that her father had walked five rounds, and Kenyans should be proud that he died as a soldier.
“Every day, he would get up and walk. And every day he would do one round, the next he pushed up to two rounds. That morning he pushed up to five rounds. He died strong and with honor and pride and you have to be proud of that. Walk with pride knowing that he left like a gentleman,” Winnie shared.

When you were young, they called you Aluo, they started calling you the son of Jaramogi. To me, you were just a father, a man who had rooms,” he just added.
