NAIROBI, OCTOBER 15, 2025
I, and the entire Power Shift Africa community, join fellow Kenyans and the world in mourning the passing of Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, a statesman and pan-Africanist whose vision and courage transcended politics. His life’s work embodied an unwavering commitment to social, economic, environmental and human justice.
Raila Odinga understood that the health of a nation depends on the health of its people and its environment. Long before climate action became a global imperative, he spoke of the need to protect Kenya’s forests, rivers, and biodiversity. He saw conservation as a moral duty that was intertwined with the fight against inequality and poverty.
