Senator Captures Attention As He Paints His Name On Cows Delivered For Raila's Burial Ceremony

Senator Tom Ojienda has attracted public attention with a remarkable display of respect and loyalty during the burial preparations for the late Raila Odinga. The Kisumu senator personally delivered a herd of cows to the Odinga family home in Kang’o ka Jaramogi, Bondo, as part of his contribution to the funeral ceremony.

What caught many people’s eyes was the unusual detail that each vow bore his name clearly painted on its body. The gesture stood out amid the flood of donations arriving from leaders and well-wishers across the country. 

Residents and mourners at the scene watched as the branded animal were led to the homestead, symbolizing both generosity and a personal bond with the Odinga family.

In Luo culture, livestock donations during major ceremonies such as funerals carry deep social and spiritual meaning. 

They not only support the family by helping feed the guests but also express solidarity and respect for the departed. Senator Ojienda’s gesture went beyond the norm, merging traditional customs with a modern sense of identity and political symbolism.

Observers noted that his approach reflected how cultural practices continue to evolve in Kenya’s political environment. By branding the cows, Ojienda ensured his contribution remained visible and memorable, reinforcing his association with Raila Odinga’s legacy and the broader reform movement that defined Odinga’s life.
