Celebrities and politicians, such as Raila Odinga and Governor James Orengo, were present at the burial ceremony.
Top personalities in the entertainment industry attended the funeral, including Awinja, 2mbili, YY, Amber Ray, and Kennedy Rapudo.
Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Siaya Governor James Orengo were prominent political figures among the attendees.
Video from the funeral captured the moment Raila Odinga arrived in a helicopter, bringing proceedings to a halt as he came to pay his final respects.
Raila Odinga respectfully removed his cap as he viewed Fred’s body, then waved his hand in his characteristic manner. When he took the stage, the politician began to sing, with mourners joining in. “Nikiitwa nitaitika, kutumikia waafrika. Kwenye vita vya moto, twapambana kama mashujaa,” Raila sang. This gesture brought a smile to the faces of mourners, including Eric Omondi, who was seen beside his partner.
Fred Omondi’s child’s mother is Rose Achieng’. She initially expressed apprehension about visiting Fred’s home, unsure of the reception she would receive. However, she was warmly welcomed. Rose disclosed that she and Fred’s daughter, Kyla Omondi, who is two years old, share a close bond. They met at a wedding and connected after exchanging contacts. Rose mentioned that Fred adhered to Luo customs by shaving Kyla’s hair for the first time.
Before Fred’s funeral, it’s important to note that his autopsy revealed a cracked skull from the accident impact. Eric Omondi confirmed that Fred had two children and appealed to any other women who had children with him to come forward. A video surfaced posthumously showing Fred talking about his child and discussing future plans he had for her.
