Raila Odinga’s Bodyguard Maurice Ogeta Gifts New Homes to Family in Heartfelt Bondo Gesture

Maurice Ogeta, the steadfast and longtime personal bodyguard to ODM leader Raila Odinga, has extended his trademark loyalty from the political frontlines to his own family, unveiling a newly completed block of self-contained one-bedroom houses built exclusively for his relatives.

In a warm and emotional handover ceremony at his rural home in Bondo, Ogeta presented each unit to family members as a personal gift — a gesture he described as an expression of gratitude and a way to secure their future.

The housing project, which he personally funded, features modern self-contained units designed to offer comfort, dignity, and independence to each recipient. Family members, overwhelmed with joy, described the development as life-changing.

Speaking at the event, Ogeta said the motivation behind the project was rooted in appreciation for the unwavering support his family has shown him throughout his life and career.

> “Before anything else, there is family,” he said. “They stood by me through every season, and this is my way of giving back — ensuring each of them has a decent place to call home.”

Community members and local leaders praised Ogeta’s generosity, noting that despite his prominent role beside one of Kenya’s most influential politicians, he has remained grounded and dedicated to uplifting those around him.

The new housing block has also transformed the appearance of his homestead, drawing admiration from residents who see it as an inspiring model of personal investment in family welfare.

Ogeta’s gesture adds to his growing public image not only as a loyal and dependable protector of a national political figure, but also as a compassionate and community-minded individual.

As the keys exchanged hands and celebrations filled the homestead, the event stood as a powerful reminder that acts of kindness — even away from the public eye — can leave the most lasting legacy.
