Saturday, 28 February 2026 - A video has emerged on social media capturing Mama Ida Odinga, widow of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, cautioning individuals against taking her pictures without consent.
In the short clip, Mama Ida was having a conversation with
ODM mobilizer, Calvince
Okoth, popularly known as Gaucho.
Despite her warning, photos of the two later surfaced
online, sparking speculation and controversy.
Some netizens went further, manipulating the images with AI
to falsely depict Mama Ida and Gaucho in intimate poses.
The doctored content quickly went viral, prompting Gaucho to
publicly defend Mama Ida.
He accused those behind the manipulated photos of attempting
to tarnish her reputation for clout, stressing that she is “a highly respected
leader in the fabric of our society and diplomatic spheres.”
Gaucho even compared her stature to the late Winnie Mandela,
underscoring her influence and dignity.
In his statement, Gaucho warned that perpetrators risk
facing legal consequences.
“Any attempts to besmirch, soil and damage Mama’s name,
image and reputation for content creation, directly or through graphics, is
uncalled for,” he declared.
