Why MAMA IDA ODINDA wants pregnant women from Homa Bay County to name their children after her and her husband, RAILA ODINGA.

Thursday, 02 March 2023 – Raila Odinga’s wife, Mama Ida Odinga, has urged women from Homa Bay County to name their children after her and her husband as a way of keeping the Odinga family lineage.

Speaking during the launch of the Homa Bay County Sexual and Gender-Based Violence policy, Mama Ida encouraged the women from the county to name their children Ida and Raila.

By doing so, the Homa Bay community will be holding Raila’s legacy.


 “It will be a legacy. I am saying this because I love Homa Bay,” Mama Ida said.

Mama Ida made the remarks after inviting all pregnant women who had attended the event to step forward so that she could give them some cash.

She also gave the women an option of naming their girls after Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga, if they don’t want to name their kids after her.
