The couple arrived at the opulent five-star hotel in Nairobi where Raila serenaded Ida with a delightful birthday song in both German and English. The celebration was attended by prominent Azimio leaders, close friends, and renowned personalities from the entertainment industry. Ida, dressed in a stunning green African lace gown was welcomed by a traditional dance performance upon arrival setting the tone for a culturally rich and joyous evening. Raila spared no expense in organizing the memorable celebration for Mama Ida who radiated elegance with her impeccable makeup and bouquet of birthday flowers.

“As the day dawns and the moment arrives, it's my privilege to extend heartfelt birthday wishes to her. Her radiant countenance speaks volumes, and we wholeheartedly desire an abundance of years ahead. In a former chapter of my journey, I embraced life in Germany, and so, I shall grace her day with a melodious rendition of 'Happy Birthday' in both German and English,” he said.

Ida later made a graceful wardrobe change and donned a stunning green and gold African Velvet lace skirt suit. Meanwhile, Raila showcased his signature style by wearing a classic blue vintage button-down shirt paired with navy blue trousers and loafers. Distinguished political minds made appearances at the birthday celebration including Martha Karua, Kalonzo Musyoka, James Orengo, Eugene Wamalwa, and Babu Owino.

Guests were treated to a night of entertainment, including performances by Prince Inda and MCs Oga Obinna and Maurice Ochieng aka Mdomo Baggy. Akothee and Eric Omondi were also in attendance and those who attended followed the dress code of wearing shades of green or blue and gold. The event was described as a celebration of Ida's contributions to society.

    PPPian sounds like a public private partnership thing...very disturbing considering we are not talking about business here. He/she will spew anything as long it makes baba supporters feel happy na hakuna...

    For a moment, I will put the man's politics a side and congratulate him for his long marriage to one woman...Fify years is longtime to live with " a stranger". Of course marriages are intended to survive till the grim reaper arrives...Most dont.
    One thing I can say about these two, is that I have never read ,or heard any amorous scandals concerning RAO's life style.If there are any sexual peccadilloes or sexcapades,they must be really under a tight lid.Which I find hard to believe.Because in today's world,a tabloid would offer quite a large some of cash to expose RAO's juicy indiscretions.- Or even several years later "junior" pops up claiming you are the absentee father.
    I also wonder how he escaped being poligamous in a tribe that prides and glorifies in at least having 3 wives...
    You must be doing something good,and right to sustain your marriage this long... So please share your secrets to marriage longivity,as a public service. Or better yet write a book"Gormahia meets Ingwe,an endearing love story"

    Muuaji Raila can only be compared to cannibals mizoga Kamau,Torroitich,Biwort,Ntimama,Hitler,Amin,Bokasa or kina Kabogo,Wanjiru,Joho etc not Mandela.Cannibalism is savage Raila’s hobby.He will one day kill Anyango Oyoo for a meal the same he did to Odhiambo Amollo in 2015.

    Throw a party for the slum dwellers once in a while. They are the ones you send to destroy property and then they are beaten maimed or killed while trying to keep your dream of President alive.How about giving them a free meal they too have birthdays
