The First Words Raila's Aide Told Stephen Letoo After Delegation Arrived In India To Pick His Body

The Kenyan delegation that travelled to India to retrieve the body of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga did not view it before it was flown back to Nairobi. 

According to Citizen TV journalist Stephen Letoo, who was part of the media team accompanying the officials and family members, the atmosphere at the Indian airport was heavy with emotion and disbelief.

When the team landed, the casket draped in the Kenyan flag was already prepared and surrounded by Indian military officers. 

The plane that would carry the body back to Kenya remained running throughout the brief ceremony.
