It is hardly where we intended or ought to be, but certainly better than where we were at this time over 20 years ago, thanks to the sacrifices of Hon. Matiba and his team.
As a family, we have a very special bond with Hon. Kenneth Matiba and his family— Raila Odinga (@RailaOdinga) April 16, 2018

We have lost another Kenyan elder and multi-party democracy icon, Kenneth Matiba. He was a no nonsense Minister -very charismatic a veteran politician who moved masses. He nearly became our President. Condolences to his Family, people of Muranga and Country at large.

My condolences to the family and relatives of Kenneth Matiba, a man who had loyally served a brutal dictatorship but had the good decency to turn against it during the last years of his life. That's much better than those who opposed the barbaric system then coddled it in the end
