Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : A day later, panic swept through mourners exiting Friday's state funeral service at a separate venue in the capital, triggering a crowd crush that killed two more and sent 163 to medical care.
50% : " Former United States president Barack Obama, whose father was Kenyan, honoured Odinga as "a true champion of democracy" who "endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya", in a post on X. Obama noted that Odinga "was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values". Odinga never became president despite five attempts spanning three decades, but shaped Kenya's democratic evolution more profoundly than many who held that office and has led to an outpouring of grief nationally and across Africa.
