                                            Pwani University Students fraternity today outpoured in their multitude to join the nation in Mourning Rt Hon Raila Odinga who passed away on Wednesday. 
In a very sombre, melancholic and moody aura, Students assembled in a mini requiem mass with candles, his portraits and twigs to mourn the towering statesman and veteran politician whose legacy inspires many citizens. 
Many students eulogising him as a consequential figure during Kenya's second Liberation and a vanguard for democracy, rule of law and justice. Emotions were heavy as many students wailed uncontrollably. 
As our editor writes : For the Nation, it is a loss of an iconic and fatherly figure, but for all Students, this is a moment to reflect and continue to agitate for the values and convictions of a civilised society I.e democracy and justice which he fiercely championed for in his lifetime and to espouse on his ideals.
He will be laid to rest on Sunday at his family homestead in Bondo, Siaya county.
