Episode 43: This episode demystifying the lives of the Enigma Raila Amolo Odinga - a tribute to one of the most remarkable political odysseys in modern Africa. In a land of unfinished revolutions, Raila Amollo Odinga stands as a symbol of relentless reinvention: an engineer tempered by socialist discipline; a dissident shaped by prison; a coalition builder who learned to bend without breaking. A force whose journey shaped the canvas of a nation.In this first episode, we explore what we have framed as the first 3 of his 9 lives. We take a glimpse into: the engineer who returned from East Germany to measure a nation; and thereafter, the prisoner who learned the tempo of fear and refused to dance to it; and we then witness as he steps forth from behind the giant shadow cast by his father, Jaramogi.This is the story of an engineer who became Kenya’s most consequential dissident, a son who inherited more than a name, and a leader who embodied the high drama and heartbreak of a country questing after justice. Across three episodes, we traverse nine chapters of struggle, betrayal, resilience, and hope—each forged at the intersection of personal sacrifice and the swelling tide of history. Whether you come to this story knowing nothing or everything, encounter a Kenya—and an Africa—reimagined through the life of one man.
This episode of Politikali is dedicated to Raila Odinga, the enigma!We sit down with Dennis Onsarigo, a close friend, and son, who served as Azimio Press Secretary during campaigns, to remember the highs, the heartbreaks, and the behind-the-scenes grit that defined Raila’s political journey.Onsarigo shares untold stories that reveal Raila not just as a political icon, but as a human being who was relentless, consistently selfless, and deeply committed to Kenya.Tune in to this conversation about legacy, sacrifice, and what it really means to fight for change!

In this part 2 of Reluctant Conversations with Chaka Sichangi on Politikali Konekted, we break down a sobering truth: the real rigging doesn’t happen on voting day it happens after your ballot is cast.
