Crowds are currently building at the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani in anticipation of the public viewing of the body of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. The viewing was initially schedule to take place at the Parliament buildings but changed after huge and impatient supporters turned out.

Police in Kenya fired tear gas at thousands of mourners at a public viewing Thursday of the body of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, an influential politician who died a day earlier in India.

The crowd later backed away from the plane, but the chaos prompted a two-hour suspension of airport operations.
