Security officers were also deployed to manage the huge crowds and maintain order during the event.
The event attracted residents from neighbouring estates, with many lining roadsides hours before his arrival.
Last Sunday, Raila Junior held a public engagement with Kenyans at the Jacaranda Grounds.
He called on political leaders to show respect to the family of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
He also warned against emerging factional disputes within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).
Odinga Junior said the party was facing internal tensions just months after Raila’s passing, urging leaders to exercise maturity and restraint.
He said he had personally communicated expectations to family members and political allies regarding respect for the Odinga family in public and political spaces.
“People are talking about ODM and its factions. I know ODM belonged to Raila, and as a member of the family, I will speak,” he said.

Before adding, “It does not matter if you have leadership elsewhere; you have cars and everything. Respect is not weakness.”

Odinga Junior also dismissed speculation about his political alignment within ODM factions.
He insisted that he remained aware of discussions that took place around his father’s final political engagements.
“I heard people talking about terms and asking me where I belong,” he said.
“During Raila’s last days, he spoke with people from different factions. Ask those who were in those meetings if I was there or not.”
