Idah further detailed that upon the announcement of the 2007 general elections, the uncle fell ill due to the outcome, as then Mwai Kibaki was declared Kenya’s 3rd President, something he was not expecting at the time.
“My uncle was affected and passed on over Raila Odinga not being declared the winner during the 2007/8 elections,” Idah revealed.

“BABA! AGWAMBO! JAKOM! TINGA! ENIGMA! NYUNDO! RAO! PEOPLE’S PRESIDENT! JOSHUA… Ladies and gentlemen, the spirits of Got Ramogi have descended unto me this evening. I am here at the recording studio’s booth for Wuod Oganda, Amolo 3 in 1. Officially, a special tribute song is to be released tomorrow in the morning at 6:00AM, a time when the sun has not risen, as directed by JUOGI. FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS, JAKAWUOR,” Prince Indah wrote on Facebook.
He will be laid to rest this Sunday, October 19, 2025, at his Opoda home in Bondo, Siaya County.
