Note on Schedule:
The committee acknowledges that the schedule extends beyond the 72-hour burial window expressed in Mr. Odinga’s wishes. This adjustment was necessary due to the logistical complexities of repatriating his body from abroad and accommodating the state and public funeral proceedings.
Our Condolences.
