All significant political events that sparked an irreversible shift towards Kenya’s more transparent and participatory political system have centred around Raila Odinga.

Raila Odinga is perhaps best recognised for his steadfast and committed fight to corruption, which includes misusing public funds and handling public affairs improperly.

Raila Odinga Relationship with Idah before they met

According to an article by Kenyan Media house, Tuko. co.ke, Raila Odinga was already related to his adorable wife Ida Odinga even before the two first crossed paths and as he recounted in a past interview it was love at first sight.

According to the Azimio la Umoja leader, his wife also creases up as his sister-in-law by chasteness of the validity that her sister is married to Odinga’s cousin.

In a past interview with KTN, the opposition leader publicized that he met her wife way before he had entered active politics.

The opposition leader asserted that he and his cousin had visited Ida’s brother, who was living at the Pangani estate. Upon their arrival, they discovered that Ida and her sisters were genuinely enjoying a family gathering.

Ida asserts that even though he was enthralled right away, she never considered anything but friendship. However, being the man that he is, Raila Odinga devised a scheme to see Ida once more and give her his whole heart.

Ida acknowledges that she was certain her husband would never enter politics when she first fell in love with him. And more? She was trying to talk her pals off of getting married to future politicians.

The Luo community does not follow the customs of most Kenyan communities, which forbid sisters or cousins from marrying women with whom they have familial links or from being married in the same home.
