Sifuna: How my life has changed after Raila

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has offered a glimpse into how his political life has changed since the death of his mentor, Raila Odinga. He describes a new existence shaped by security concerns, political uncertainty, and the burden of leading a movement without the man who protected him for over a decade.

Mr Sifuna says that the transformation has extended beyond his public responsibilities to the most ordinary aspects of his private life, from being a regular visitor to social joints to having to reconsider where he goes and what he eats and drinks.
