In 2007, Raila Odinga's late
Son, Fidel, married a lady from the Kikuyu community named, Veronicah
Ng’ang’a, but their marriage was short-lived.
The two divorced in an ugly court battle and later on, Fidel married an Eritrean lady named, Lwam.
As
Raila Odinga was paying tribute to his late son in a requiem mass held
at All-Saints Cathedral, he mentioned Fidel's ex-wife, Veronicah, and
even pointed at her.
She was among the mourners who had attended Fidel’s requiem mass and she was seated at the back-bench.
But
Raila left the crowd in stitches after he narrated on how he advised
his son to look for a lady from elsewhere after breaking up with
Veronicah.
"I
told Fidel once beaten twice shy after he broke up with the lady from
Kiambu. He then decided to cross boundaries to Ethiopia and married
Lwam." The former Premier told mourners.
As Raila said this, attention shifted to Veronicah and she seemed embarrased by his sentiments.
Although she has already moved on, it's a painful thing in the her culture for one to be embarrassed in-front of mourners.
