President William Ruto has arrived for the funeral service of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology.

They have paid their last respect to Raila.

Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka is also among leaders who have arrived in Bondo for the funeral ceremony of Raila.

Kalonzo, who was Raila's running mate in 2013 and 2017 elections, is joined by former Chief Justice David Maraga, former Interior Affairs Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i, DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa, David Murathe, among others.

Former Ugandan Prime Minister Ruhakana Ruganda has also arrived at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOST).

Most of the leaders flew through Kisumu International Airport, with some being airlifted to Bondo while others drove by road.

Several dignitaries who include Cabinet Secretaries and Members of Parliament, have trooped in to attend the final rites of one of Kenya's most influential politicians who passed in last Wednesday in India.
