As we usher in the New Year, we thank God for the gift of life, for His guidance, and for the strength that carried us through one of the most difficult years in our history. 

2025 was the year we lost Raila Amolo Odinga. Baba's passing marked a defining moment for our country and left a deep sense of loss among millions who drew hope, courage, and direction from his leadership. He was our moral compass and our North Star, the source from which our values, direction, and courage flowed.
