This situation caused a two-hour suspension of airport operations. Groups also occupied adjacent streets and attempted to breach the government complex, where the government had first arranged the open visitation. National Heritage and Ethnic Devotion Although primarily recognized as an government critic, Odinga served as head of government in 2008 and also struck a political pact with the president last year in a political journey characterized by changing partnerships. He commanded intense commitment among adherents, especially in his cultural background based in the country's west, many of whom contend he was deprived of the nation's leadership by electoral fraud. Numerous of Odinga's mourners, who were not yet born in 1991 when Kenya established itself as a pluralistic political system, offered homage to Odinga's work as an campaigner.
