For years, Maurice Ogetta stood by Raila Odinga as his trusted bodyguard and close confidant, witnessing the personal moments, security threats and defining journeys that shaped the life of one of Kenya’s most influential political figures. Beyond his role in Raila’s security detail, Ogetta was part of the inner circle, sharing in the risks and experiences that came with protecting a man whose political journey attracted both loyal supporters and powerful opponents. He also recalls their time together in India and the experiences that remained largely outside the public eye. One year after Raila’s death, Ogetta sits down with Grace Ng’ang’a to reflect on the man behind the political legend, the loyalty he inspired, the personal memories they shared and the betrayal he says Raila endured.
