Yatta kwa Vonza MCA Hon. Mark Ndingo has paid glowing tribute to the late Raila Odinga, describing his heartfelt speech to Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka as one of the most emotional and historic moments in Kenya’s political history. Ndingo said the speech went beyond political boundaries, touching the hearts of millions of Kenyans who witnessed a rare show of loyalty and mutual respect between two long-time allies.
According to the MCA, Raila’s message to Kalonzo reflected a lifetime of shared struggle, sacrifice, and resilience in the face of political turbulence. He noted that the friendship between the two leaders was a powerful reminder that true leadership is built on trust and the pursuit of a greater cause rather than personal gain. “Jakom’s words to Kalonzo were not just a farewell; they were a reflection of deep brotherhood and unshakable commitment to Kenya’s democratic journey,” Ndingo stated.
He went on to say that Raila Odinga’s legacy will continue to inspire generations, especially young leaders seeking to serve with integrity. Ndingo urged upcoming politicians to emulate the humility, courage, and sense of purpose that defined the relationship between Raila and Kalonzo, adding that such unity is what Kenya needs to heal and progress.
The MCA also lauded Kalonzo Musyoka for standing firmly beside Raila through decades of political challenges, describing him as a symbol of loyalty and perseverance. “Even when the tides were against them, Kalonzo never wavered. Their partnership was built on principle, not convenience,” he remarked, emphasizing that such dedication is rare in today’s political environment.
Ndingo called on leaders across the country to embrace unity and put the interests of Kenyans above personal ambition. He said the example set by Raila and Kalonzo demonstrates that political alliances can be founded on shared values, honesty, and mutual respect rather than greed or opportunism.
In his closing remarks, Hon. Ndingo urged Kenyans to honor the late Raila Odinga’s memory by continuing his mission for justice, equity, and peace. “Jakom’s spirit will live on in every Kenyan who believes in fairness, freedom, and unity. His friendship with Kalonzo was not just political — it was a testament to what true patriotism looks like,” he said.
