    Raila honours late bodyguard George Oduor in Siaya Says Oduor was deeply loyal and highly trained Served Raila from the 1990s until April 2024 ODM leader calls for full devolution of key government agencies Wants MPs to focus on oversight, not project implementation A Trusted Protector Remembered During an emotional farewell in Siaya, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga paid glowing tribute to his long-serving bodyguard, George Oduor. The burial took place at Ramba Boys High School. Raila described Oduor as more than just a bodyguard. He called him a rare and trustworthy man—someone he could depend on in life-threatening moments. “George was willing to take a bullet for me,” Raila said. “He wasn’t just loyal—he was exceptional.” Trained Around the World According to Raila, Oduor had undergone top-level security training in South Africa, Israel, and the U.S. He said these experiences made him a master in spotting danger and ensuring safety. “He topped his class in South Africa. Wherever he trained, he stood out,” Raila added. Oduor began working with Raila in the 1990s and served until his death on April 2 at Nairobi West Hospital. Time to Rethink Devolution Raila didn’t just eulogize. He also addressed national issues—especially devolution. He said the idea of devolution was met with fear and resistance early on, but insisted it remains the best tool to improve services across Kenya. “When well implemented, devolution can change lives,” he noted. Let Counties Run Infrastructure The ODM boss proposed that infrastructure agencies like KURA and KeRRA be moved to counties. He questioned how central offices in Nairobi could plan roads for places like Mombasa or Bungoma. “Planning for counties from Nairobi is simply inefficient,” Raila stated. MPs Should Stick to Oversight On the NG-CDF, Raila argued that funds should be handled by counties, not MPs. He stressed that lawmakers should not supervise projects they’re also managing. “Let MPs stick to legislation and oversight. Governors should run projects and be held accountable,” he said. The burial was attended by family, political leaders, and friends. Many described George Oduor as a humble, disciplined, and courageous man who gave his all in service.
