President William Ruto has arrived at Parliament Buildings, where the body of former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga lies in State.
The Head of State was received by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula and Senate Speaker Amason Kingi. He was accompanied by First Lady Rachel Ruto.
President Ruto viewed the body and paid his last respects to the late ODM leader, who is being accorded full state honours.
The body of Raila Odinga is expected to be moved to Nyayo National Stadium later this morning for the State Funeral Service. The casket will depart Parliament after all dignitaries, including the President, have arrived.
Several world and regional leaders are expected to attend the service, which is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and run for about two hours until noon.
Meanwhile, large crowds of mourners have already begun gathering at Nyayo Stadium to witness the historic event. Security has been heightened both within the stadium and along key routes leading to the venue to ensure order during the proceedings.
