A black-tie dinner and ball are scheduled to take place on the night of the inauguration at posh Marriott Gateway Hotel.

It is said to be a pan-African gala in honour of the first US president of African descent.

Kenya’s ambassador in Washington Peter Ogego said he hopes the new president and the First Lady will include the event in their round of inaugural balls.

Invitations are also being sent to incoming Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and UN ambassador Susan Rice, Mr Ogego added.

Mr Odinga is expected to attend both of the Kenya-sponsored inauguration celebrations.

The National Democratic Institute, a non-governmental democracy-promotion group, has invited him to take part in the Martin Luther King Jnr Day celebrations in Washington on January 18.

On the inauguration day, the Kenya mission will hold a reception at Washington Plaza Hotel near the route of the parade leading to President Obama’s swearing in on the steps of the US Capitol.
