Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Mausoleum Bondo - Fees and things to see

Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Mausoleum

The Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Museum serves as a repository of the country’s political history, as well as a home to numerous artifacts owned by the late first vice president of Kenya during his long political journey.

Some of the exhibits displayed at the museum include Jaramogi’s fly-whisk and old pictures dating back to post-Independence. There is also a briefcase, clothes and ceremonial hats that symbolize the power and traditional authority the first vice president of Kenya had in his days; the famous akala shoes, a goatskin and a bed belonging to Jaramogi.

The facility has been worn out after standing for two decades without a fresh coat of paint or major repairs. President Uhuru Kenyatta had directed that the building be refurbished when he visited Jaramogi’s home at the end of last year.
