Kenya Airways has commended its crew members who flew the body of former prime minister Raila Odinga back to Nairobi from India, describing the repatriation as a “solemn duty”.

The national carrier issued a statement praising the professionalism of staff who brought Mr Odinga and the accompanying delegation home from Mumbai following his death in Kerala on Wednesday.

“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our crew who safely flew back the late Rt Hon Raila Odinga and the accompanying delegation from Mumbai,” the airline said. “Your professionalism, composure, and dedication in this solemn duty embody the true spirit of service and care that defines us.”
