President Ruto urged leaders to abandon divisive tribal politics for national unity. He blamed political divisions for hindering development across Kenya during a funeral service for Raila Odinga's aide in Siaya county. The president praised Odinga for joining his broad-based government, saying the former prime minister set aside personal interests for the country's benefit. He called on other politicians to follow Odinga's example, putting citizens' needs before their ambitions.

Ruto highlighted government achievements, including stabilizing the Kenyan shilling, reducing inflation, expanding electricity access nationwide, allocating Sh1.2 billion to connect 15,000 Siaya households, with Sh60 billion planned for road improvements. He described the late George Oduor as competent, loyal, and a confidant with integrity. Odinga asked Kenyans to reject tribal politics that undermined national unity. He warned lawmakers against weakening devolution, which has improved rural lives.

National Assembly Minority Leader Junet Mohammed supported the recent UDA-ODM agreement as beneficial for development. Cotu Secretary General Francis Atwoli, along with Senator Oburu Odinga, advocated keeping politics out of schools. Many speakers remembered Oduor as loyal to his employer, with Raila noting his exceptional observation skills.
