‘Shut up Baba!’ This is the hard hitting message that has been sent to Raila Odinga after referring to the fallen Hero Ken Okoth as his son.
Raila stated that he sponsored Ken Okoth’s education as he was from a very poor background but he was however determined and intelligent.
He was like a Son…
ODM Leader @RailaOdinga remembers the Late Ken Okoth. Our reporter @janengoiri spoke to him at JKIA when he arrived from Mombasa. pic.twitter.com/kg5GrVJPtJ— NTV Kenya (@ntvkenya) July 26, 2019
But Raila has one regret. He was planning to meet Ken Okoth Yesterday only to be told that he is no more.
Ken Okoth died at The Nairobi Hospital on Friday after a long battle with colon cancer.
However Kenyan people have ‘zero chills.’ Despite Raila Odinga sending a moving emotional tribute, he has not been spared from the the angry and savage responses from Kenyans.
Raila has been called a ‘hypocrite.’ This is because many people have claimed that he was ready to trash Ken Okoth’s ambition to represent the people of Kibra and instead support Rose Mary Odinga.
He is an hypocrite, he wanted her daughter Rosemary to vie for the seat,but the people refused plus illness stopped his daughter…

Ken Okoth short rule in Kibra has been characterized with major development projects. According to the arguments from the social media streets, Ken Okoth achieved way much more than what Raila Odinga achieved while he was still serving as Kibra MP.
Shut up baba! Ken did in 1 term more than you ever do in 20+ years as our MP of Kibra. Please do not interfere with whoever the people’s choice will be to replace him. RIP Ken

But the fallen Hero Ken Okoth will be remembered for his transformative ideas and intelligence.
Maybe one thing people thing the country should honor him with is to legalize Marijuana. He fought so hard for the country to legalize Marijuana but cancer ‘crippled’ him.
May Kenya at the very least find courage to #legalizemarijuana for medicinal purposes in your memory Ken. #RIPKenOkoth #LegalizeIt pic.twitter.com/6Jc2DEg8B7
