What did Kenyans say about Raila Odinga's hairstyle?

In a related report, renowned politician Raila Odinga’s fresh haircut sparked buzz as he appeared alongside President William Ruto at a joint ODM–Kenya Kwanza meeting.

The veteran opposition leader, dressed in a crisp blue three-piece suit, drew attention with his noticeably sharper hairline.

Kenyans online reacted with humour, some praising the stylish look while others cracked jokes about the barber behind the transformation.

Some also wondered if Raila was okay, as his hairstyle may have been an indication that all was not well.

Why did Deputy CJ break down?

Elsewhere, Mwilu became emotional as she paid tribute to slain Magistrate Monica Kivuti, who was shot at Makadara Law Courts.
