Mombasa Shut Down As Fidel Odinga Road Is Officially Opened (Photos)

A road in the Coastal City of Mombasa has been named after the late Fidel Odinga. Mombasa was literary shut down as the opening ceremony kicked off.

Last year during the burial ceremony of Fidel Odinga at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University in Bondo, Mombasa Governor, Ali Hassan Joho, promised he would name a road in the Coastal City after the late son of former premier Raila Odinga.

True to his promise, Joho yesterday officially opened Fidel Odinga Road. Raila Odinga flew to Mombasa to join the Governor and other dignitaries in launching the road.

Raila was greeted by a mammoth crowd as he made his way from Moi International Airport through the streets of Mombasa.

Activities came to an abrupt stop as the former Prime Minister’s convoy passed. Politics was kept at bay as Fidel Odinga Road was opened.
