A somber mood engulfed Parliament buildings on Wednesday when legislators received news of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's demise.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula had to adjourn both the morning and afternoon session in honor of Raila and some of the departmental committees lined up were also called off, with grief so loud in the precincts of Parliament.
