Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga paid tribute to late opposition leader Raila Odinga during a ceremony marking his legacy. Activist Abdul Omollo Masoud launched a tree-planting drive aiming to plant one million trees in honour of the former prime minister. The event took place as Kenyans prepared to light candles in memory of Odinga. Wanga recalled Odinga’s contributions to Kenyan politics and his role in shaping the nation’s development. Masoud emphasized the environmental impact of the campaign, linking it to Odinga’s vision for sustainable growth. The initiative aims to restore degraded land and promote ecological balance. Odinga, who led Kenya’s opposition for decades, died in 2022. His legacy remains influential in Kenyan political discourse. The tree-planting campaign is part of a broader movement to celebrate his contributions to national unity and environmental stewardship.
