According to Kenyan media, he is the first non-president ever to be honored with a state funeral. Odinga was given full military honors, including a 17-gun salute by the army. The 80-year-old was revered for his fight against the autocratic rule of the government of Daniel Arap Moi, which saw him jailed and ultimately forced into exile. Thousands from across the East African country traveled to Odinga's rural home in Bondo, western Kenya, to participate in Sunday's ceremony.
