Maurice Ogeta has proven to be more than just a bodyguard — he is a true friend and symbol of loyalty. For years, he has faithfully protected former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga, standing by his side through countless political battles, rallies, and international trips.
According to reports, Ogeta was present during Raila’s final moments in India. The two had gone for a morning walk when tragedy struck — Raila reportedly tripped and fell, prompting an emergency rush to the hospital where doctors later pronounced him dead.
Heartbroken but composed, Ogeta remained by his boss’s side, watching over his body until the official Kenyan delegation arrived in Mumbai. His visible grief and unshaken loyalty moved many Kenyans, with videos and photos of him circulating widely online.
Kenyans from all walks of life have flooded social media with tributes, praising Ogeta’s unwavering dedication and long years of service to Raila Odinga. For many, he symbolizes the true meaning of friendship, faithfulness, and honor.
Ogeta’s loyalty to Raila — both in life and in death — will forever remain etched in the hearts of Kenyans who admired Baba and those who stood with him to the very end.
