On January 20, 2019, Muhoho Kenyatta, President Uhuru’s younger brother, attended the commemoration to mark 25 years since Jaramogi Oginga Odinga passed away on January 20, 1994.

Judging by people’s reaction, most Kenyans were intrigued by the fact that a member of the Kenyatta family could attend a function at the Odinga’s home. But by now, this should not be strange for the March 9, 2018 handshake between President Uhuru and Opposition leader Raila Odinga has resulted in the once bitter rivalry between the Odingas and Kenyattas thawing.
