Nairobi County Assembly has allocated Sh20 million in the 2026-2027 budget to build a monument and statue honouring former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Nairobi's Central Business District.

The funding follows the Assembly's approval in June of a motion to establish a digital monument at the Supreme Court Roundabout, replacing an earlier proposal to construct it at Uhuru Park.

The decision marks one of the first county-funded projects dedicated to preserving Odinga's legacy following his death on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
