Kenya African National Union (KANU) party leader Gideon Moi saw off former Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo at Kisumu Airport after the latter paid a visit to the home of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Bondo, Kang’o Ka Jaramogi.

Gideon Moi, who had spent an eventful day with the former Ghanaian President, first met him at the Democracy for Union of Africa (DUA) event held at a hotel in Upper Hill.

The event was hosted by the Democratic Party (DP), led by Justin Muturi, and KANU, led by Gideon Moi, with Nana Akufo-Addo being one of the dignitaries.

He later accompanied the former president on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, to the home of the late former Prime Minister in Bondo, Kang’o Ka Jaramogi, to pay tribute to the departed leader.

Mourning Raila

He hailed the late former prime minister Raila Odinga’s contribution to democracy in African countries, saying that it can’t be forgotten even in his death.

Hw later added that what prompted him to travel from Ghana to Kenya was his belief that Raila was not only a resource to Kenya but also to the entire African continent, noting that his contribution to Africa’s democracy is indelible and cannot be erased.

“The reason for my presence here is not very far to seek. The man we are mourning is one of the great sons, not just of Kenya, but of our continent of Africa. His contribution to the growth of democracy in Kenya and in Africa can never, ever be forgotten,” he said.

He further stated that the last time he had contact with Raila was when Raila was seeking to assume the AUC position.

During his campaign, after approaching him while he was still in office, he did not hesitate to commit Ghana’s support because, judging from Raila’s past track record, he knew he was up to the task for the position.

“I did not hesitate to commit the support of Ghana to his candidature because I knew that he was a man who would be fitting and very capable of doing the work. So I came here today to personally express to his widow, his family, and the people of Kenya my deep-seated condolences on his passing. To be able to do so on this occasion has been a great satisfaction to me,” he added.

Seing him off

Gideon Moi, who has been making headlines recently after abandoning his Baringo senatorial ambitions following talks with President William Ruto, which included promises of benefits for him and his KANU brigade, saw off the former head of state as he took off from the runway to Ghana.
