The governor joined other county leaders at the Odinga family home and compared the late statesman to Martin Luther King Jr., who spoke of reaching a promised land before his death. Nyong'o said Kenyan officials must work together to fulfill Odinga's vision of justice and prosperity for ordinary citizens. Council of Governors chairman Ahmed Abdullahi credited Odinga with advancing devolution and fair governance across Kenya. He said the former leader's contributions the evident throughout Kenya's shift toward local government control. Family members, including Ida Odinga and Raila Junior, welcomed the delegation of governors who expressed sympathy following the national leader's passing. [/QUOTE]
