2025 - Lang’ata MP, Phelix Odiwuor, popularly known as Jalang’o, has
showered Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader, Raila Odinga’s wife, Mama Ida
Odinga, with warm praises as she turns 75.

lauding her as a motherly figure whose life continues to inspire generations
across Kenya.
“Happy Birthday, Mama Ida Odinga! Today, we celebrate an
extraordinary woman… your unwavering dedication to family, country, and the

Jalang’o wrote.
He praised her role as a mentor, leader, and champion of

social calendar.

grand celebration at a Nairobi hotel, attended by top politicians, Governors,
MPs, and Cabinet Secretaries.
