A family member of slain teacher Albert Ojwang yesterday revealed that ODM leader Raila Odinga was advised not to attend the burial in Homa Bay because mourners were enraged.
Ms Jane Adeya, Ojwang's cousin, said the mourners, especially the youths, did not want anyone linked to the broad-based government to address them.
Ms Adeya said Raila was told by the burial committee and told not to go to the burial.
She said this is the first time Raila was barred from attending a burial in Luo Nyanza. "I just came from the burial of my cousin Ojwang', and I can say that the youth are enraged and unpredictable.
