A mother in Kisii has captured the attention of Kenyans after giving birth to quadruplets—three boys and two girls—an event many are calling a miracle. The news surfaced online on 11th November 2025, sparking widespread amazement and celebration.
What surprised many even more was the names chosen for the children. In a tribute to the late Raila Odinga, the mother named the three boys Raila, Amollo, and Odinga, while the two girls were named after Raila’s wife, Ida. Her decision reflects her admiration for the late leader and her desire to honour his legacy.
The news quickly went viral on social media, with Kenyans reacting with a mix of astonishment and humor.
“Being a Kenyan is another miracle not indicated in the Bible,” one user commented.
“Waa, it’s now Raila times three! What a blessing. When they grow up, the names will bring confusion even to the teachers and community — maybe we’ll have Raila one, two, and three,” another joked.
The birth of the quadruplets has not only touched hearts but also sparked conversations about rare multiple births in Kenya and the unique ways families commemorate political figures. The mother’s tribute ensures that the late Raila Odinga’s legacy will continue to be remembered in a deeply personal and meaningful way.
