This is in line with Luo traditions and customs which demand for the deceased’s wealth to be inherited, including his wife, in any case where the deceased was a married man.
And it is no different in Fidel Odinga’s case because his younger brother Raila Odinga’s Junior, may be in line to inherit his beautiful Eritrean wife, Lwam.
This came out after Raila Junior assured his parents, Raila and Ida, and Fidel’s in-laws that he will take care of Lwam and her kid.
“I want to assure you all here that I will look after my late brother’s wife Lwam and the kid like Fidel would have wished. They will never lack,” said Raila junior.
Raila Jnr’s statement at the funeral has been construed by many to mean that he intends to inherit Lwam and adopt Fidel Odinga’s child to continue hislineage and preserve the wealth within the family.
There are indications that the former Prime Minister and his wife Ida support the idea of their younger son inheriting Fidel’s wife.
