East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) Member of Parliament Winnie Odinga has revealed plans to document her life with her late father, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, through a memoir and a documentary series.
Speaking during an interview with Edmund Obilo on his YouTube channel aired on Saturday, August 29, 2026, Winnie said she intends to preserve personal memories of her father and share his political journey with younger generations.
“I will write a memoir on life with my father, maybe around certain elections,” she said.

However, Winnie said her bigger ambition is to produce a documentary series that would present her father’s story in a format that can reach a wider audience.
“What I’d love to do more really is a documentary series, a short series, six episodes, something on Netflix so that a lot of younger people can consume the story,” she said.
Her remarks come nearly a year after Raila’s death, as his family, political allies, and supporters continue to commemorate his legacy.

Winnie also disclosed that she has not returned to her father’s gravesite since his burial, despite the large number of people who have visited the site to pay their respects.
“I personally have not returned. No. It’s almost one year,” she said.
The EALA legislator, however, said she intends to visit the gravesite in October to mark her father’s anniversary.
“Yeah, I will. Maybe in the month of October,” she added.
The proposed memoir and documentary could offer a personal account of Raila’s life beyond his public political career, particularly his relationship with his family and the experiences surrounding key moments in Kenya’s political history.
Winnie’s plans also point to an effort to preserve her father’s legacy for younger audiences through modern storytelling platforms.
