ODM leader Raila Odinga yesterday talked about his family’s long-standing ties with the former President Daniel arap Moi, who he described as a freedom fighter.

Raila recalled learning about Moi for the first time in 1958, a few years after the country’s second president joined the Legislative Council of Kenya (Legco) alongside his late father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.
