A long-serving driver of ODM leader Raila Odinga has opened up about the sacrifices he has made while working for the veteran politician.
Speaking emotionally, the driver revealed that he has served Raila faithfully for many years without ever taking a break or going on leave. He described his work as demanding but said he remains committed to his duty despite the personal cost.
“I have worked for Raila Odinga for many years and have never had leave. Ata watoto wangu wote wenye walizaliwa, walizaliwa kama siko — mimi nakutanga tu washazaliwa kwa nyumba,” he said, expressing the extent of his dedication.
The statement moved many Kenyans, with some praising the driver’s loyalty and commitment, while others sympathized with him for missing out on key family moments due to work.
Raila Odinga, known for his busy political schedule and nationwide engagements, has often been surrounded by a loyal team that has stood by him for decades. The driver’s revelation offers a rare glimpse into the personal sacrifices made by those who work closely with one of Kenya’s most prominent political figures.
Many Kenyans online have since called for the ODM leader to acknowledge the driver’s long service, with some joking that such loyalty deserves a national award.
