Former Prime Minister and Azimio leader Raila Odinga attended the funeral service of Malawi vice-president on Sunday.
Saulos Chilima, 51, died in a plane crash on June 10 as he travelled in a military aircraft to the northern town of Nkhata Bay.
His funeral service was held at the Bingu National Stadium where leaders and family mourned him with moving tributes.
Thousands of Malawians attended the funeral service at the national stadium.
In his tribute, Raila said news of the tragedy shocked Kenyans and Africa at large.
"Kenyans stand with the people of Malawi at this very sad hour of the loss of our brother Chilima," he said.
“I come here with a very deep heart and I speak on behalf of the people of Kenya. First, I want to convey the condolences from the President of Kenya, His Excellency William Ruto," Raila added.
He said Chiliima was a young person with a promising life in the country.
Raila added that the Malawi vice president stood for the rights of the people of Malawi.
"He wanted to ensure that there is fairness and democracy in the division of the resources of the country.
He said Kenya shares in the grief of Malawi as a similar incident occurred in Kenya claiming the lives of General Francis Ogolla and other military officers.
The Azimio boss took the opportunity to showcase his Pan Africanism spirit by advocating for unity in the continent and fairness in access to resources from Western countries.
"I want to see a day when Africa, the richest continent on the planet Earth, will be able to speak with one voice and ensure that our people get the rightful share of the wealth of this Earth," Raila said.
"We are not asking for charity, we are only asking for fairness in the international world markets. We want to see that Africans can add value to raw materials and that Africans are respected."
He said that the continent should rethink about having one visa to enable people to move from one country to another with ease.
Chillima's entire crew and other passengers on board, including former First Lady Shanil Dzimbiri, also perished.
President Lazarus Chakwera said the plane had crashed due to poor visibility caused by bad weather but Chilima's UTM party called for thorough and independent investigations into the crash.
Chilima had a successful career working in the private sector where he held various senior, well-paid positions in business before taking what many thought was a risky decision - venturing into politics aged just 40.
He had been vice president since 2014, initially under former President Peter Mutharika.
