It was a visit that many had hoped would be a statement visit to conclude the late ODM leader Raila Odinga's grave as a national symbol of unity. A place that had attracted leaders from all political divides, including those who had broken ranks with Raila prior to his death.

However, Kenyans may have to wait a little longer to witness former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua pay homage to the family of Raila after he missed their planned visit to Opoda on Thursday.
