During the visit, Balala praised Raila as a historic figure whose career was marked by sacrifice, justice advocacy, and dedication to marginalized communities.
“Raila dedicated his life to giving a voice to the vulnerable and the marginalized,” Balala said. “Under his leadership, the ODM party transformed Kenya’s political landscape into a strong, inclusive movement that shaped the nation.”
He urged Kenyans to uphold Raila’s vision of a country where every citizen is respected and empowered.
“As we honour his remarkable life, let us continue his legacy by building a Kenya where all voices are heard. May his example inspire future generations to serve with courage, compassion, and dedication to the common good,” Balala added.
