For the man who guarded former Prime Minister the late Raila Odinga for two decades, it remains to be seen what the future holds for Maurice Ogeta.
Ogeta had been with Raila through thick and thin. From his political triumphs to his defeats. From his high moments to his low times.
Even in death, Ogeta was by Raila’s side when the former Prime Minister breathed his last on October 15, 2025 while undergoing treatment in India.
For the man who was so dear to Raila’s life for two decades, Ogeta is no doubt a treasure to the larger Jaramogi Oginga Odinga family.
But with Raila Odinga forever gone, what next for his long time confidante?
Being one of the main political actors in the country today following Raila’s death, the new ODM party leader Dr Oburu Oginga is now a very important individual in Kenyan politics.
Just as his younger brother had dictated Kenyan politics for almost four decades, Dr Oburu Oginga will be a key individual in the Kenyan political scene especially in 2027. As such, his security will be a sensitive matter.
Just as Raila inherited his late father’s bodyguard in George Oduor, can Dr Oburu Oginga opt to acquire the services of Ogeta?
But amid all this, Ogeta has maintained an uncharacteristic low public profile amid uncertainty on his future.
