Multimillion Businesses Associated With ODM Leader Oburu Odinga

Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga has recently attracted increased public attention, especially following the death of his brother, Raila Odinga.

After the passing of the former Prime Minister, Oburu stepped into a more prominent leadership role within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and has been actively involved in political engagements with **William Ruto’s administration ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Beyond politics, the veteran leader is also associated with several high-value family-linked business ventures.
