On behalf of the Kenyans in Japan Association (KIJA) and the wider Kenyan Community in Japan, we join the people of Kenya and friends around the world in mourning the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga - a statesman, patriot, and visionary leader whose life and service shaped our nation's democratic journey.

Your unwavering dedication to public service and your lifelong sacrifices for the common good strengthened our nation and communities, making them more resilient and united.

Present and future generations of Kenya owe you a profound debt of gratitude, and a duty to uphold your vision, preserve your integrity, protect your legacy, and continue your quest for a free, just, fair and prosperous nation.

You leave behind an enduring legacy of courage, conviction, and unrelenting struggle for what is right - equity, justice, and freedom for all Kenyans.

Your name will forever be etched in the annals of our nation's history as the son of Kenya who never gave up on his country and his people.

Long live the spirit and legacy of RAILA AMOLO ODINGA.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
