Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has paid a heartfelt tribute to his long-serving bodyguard George Oduor, describing him as more than just a security aide - a loyal confidant, a son, and an irreplaceable family member.

Speaking during Oduor's burial in Siaya County, an emotional Odinga said the loss had reopened old wounds, painfully reminding him of his late son Fidel, who died in 2015.
