REVEALED: Why Raila Won't Be Returning To Kenya Anytime Soon
Jun 30, 2020
Opposition leader Raila Odinga’s family has opened up on the medical condition afflicting the Orange Democratic Movement leader who is recuperating in far away Middle East.
His wife Ida Odinga, elder brother Oburu Odinga and younger sister Ruth Odinga spoke to the media separately, and confirmed that he is now out of danger, but would not be coming back so soon.
Ida said her husband was successfully treated of a nerve disorder affecting one leg, but needed more time to rest. Accordingly, he will stay in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for some time until he is fit to resume his heavy political activities.
The family is pained by rumours on social media to the effect that the former Prime Minister was suffering from other forms of ailments, terming them utterly outrageous.
“Treat such rumours with utmost contempt and abhorrence. It’s not right to speculate on someone's health,” Ida told The Standard in a candid interview.
She said during this period of recovery, Kenyans of goodwill should treat him kindly in thought, prayer and wishes.
“He is in the United Arab Emirates-Dubai based International Hospital run by Germans. He has been successfully treated of a mild nerve disorder affecting one leg and not what has been alleged,” she clarified.
