Loyalty, honesty, and trustworthiness endeared George Nyangira Oduor to Raila Odinga’s family, and he eventually became one of their own.

In an emotional tribute to Oduor, who served as Raila’s security aide for 30 years, the Odinga family mourned the loss of a man they regarded as a member of their family.

After hiring Oduor as his bodyguard in 1995, following the death of his father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, Raila said that Oduor’s impeccable character won him over.
