The silence has finally broken. In an emotionally charged interview that felt more like a eulogy than a political post-mortem, Minority Leader Junet Mohamed has pulled back the curtain on the final, secretive days of Raila Odinga.

Speaking to Citizen TV, a visibly moved Junet revealed the depth of his proximity to the late enigma, disclosing that they spoke "four to five times a day" until the very end. The revelation dispels the rumors of a fallout that had swirled in the corridors of Capitol Hill before the former Prime Minister’s passing on the 15th.

"I Was Supposed to Be There"

The most haunting admission was Junet’s reason for missing Raila’s final, fateful trip. "I was on the manifest. I was supposed to go," Junet whispered, his voice cracking. "But I had a medical procedure. The day I was discharged was the day we met at Serena for the last time. He told me to rest. He saved me, effectively."

This creates a picture of a leader who, even in his twilight, was protecting his lieutenants. Junet described a relationship that transcended politics; they discussed family, fears, and the future of a party that now faces an existential crisis without its captain.

The Vacuum Left Behind

• The Command Centre: Junet confirmed he was the gatekeeper. "His bodyguards are alive, they can confirm. Nothing moved without us talking."
• The Unfinished Business: The interview hinted at a "political will"—instructions Raila left on how ODM should navigate the treacherous waters ahead.
• The Burden of Loyalty: Junet now finds himself as the custodian of the secrets of the most consequential political life in Kenyan history.

As the nation continues to mourn, Junet’s testimony humanizes the legend. Raila wasn't just a politician; he was a mentor, a father figure, and to Junet, a constant voice on the other end of the line that has now gone forever silent.
