This incident caused a two-hour suspension of flight activities. Groups also flooded surrounding thoroughfares and tried to enter parliament, where the government had first arranged the public viewing. National Heritage and Ethnic Backing While predominantly identified as an government critic, Odinga served as senior minister in 2008 and also struck a political pact with Ruto last year in a career characterized by changing partnerships. He generated passionate devotion among adherents, especially in his cultural background based in western Kenya, many of whom contend he was prevented from obtaining the presidency by vote manipulation. Many of Odinga's mourners, who were unborn in 1991 when Kenya became a multi-party democracy, paid tribute to Odinga's work as an activist.
