The senator said the hope in the Orange Democratic Movement is that Mr Odinga will lead the country to the promised land.
Former Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo, who is Mr Odinga's cousin, kicked off the political debate at the funeral by telling off people who have asked Mr Odinga to retire from active politics.
In his address, however, Mr Odinga steered clear of the presidency discussion and focused on the BBI, which he said is strictly meant to address the woes Kenyans have faced since independence in 1963.
Siaya Senator James Orengo on Saturday rekindled debate on ODM leader Raila Odinga running for President in 2022, saying the dream to have him sworn in as Kenya's leader remains.
Speaking during the burial of Mr Fredrick Omondi at Awelo village in Siaya County, the senator said the hope in the Orange Democratic Movement is that Mr Odinga will lead the country to the promised land.
