The meeting, ostensibly organized to offer condolences following the passing of the opposition leader Raila Amolo Odinga and his sister Beryl, marks a notable shift for ODM's recognition in government.
While the primary focus of the visit is to stand in solidarity with the Odinga family during their period of grief, the high-profile nature of the delegation shows a deepening cooperation between the executive and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
Led by figures such as Dr. Caroline Karugu (EAC) and Prof. Shaukat Abdulrazak (Science & Research) the group has represented a broad cross-section of the government’s technical leadership.
The presence of officials like Dr. Ouma Oluga (Health) and Judy Pareno (Justice) signals that this wasn't merely a formal requirement of protocol, but a genuine effort to foster stability through personal diplomacy.
The delegation has included a diverse group of Principal Secretaries tasked with various national dockets.
They include; Economic & Public Interests PS Cyrell Odede (Public Investment) and Dr. Bonface Makokha (Economic Planning).
Infrastructure & Trade PS Aden Millah (Maritime Affairs) and Regina Ombam (Trade).
For Oburu Oginga, now stepping into an even more prominent role as ODM Party Leader, receiving this delegation reinforces his position as a central figure in Kenya’s evolving political alignment.
This meeting serves as a reminder that in the face of national loss, the lines between government and opposition often blur in favor of unity.
