ODM leader Raila Odinga has made an appearance for the first time after undergoing a surgery in the UAE. While telling Kenyans about her father’s health, Winnie Odinga, Raila’s youngest daughter posted on Twitter a special video message from Raila.
Multiple accounts had previously emerged on what the AU special envoy for infrastructure is admitted in hospital for as his close relatives, including brother Oburu Oginga and his wife Ida Odinga gave conflicting accounts.
Dr Oburu Oginga stated the former prime minister left the country and underwent a successful back surgery, his wife, Ida, however, discounted the account sparkling speculations on what could be ailing the former Prime Minister.
“Jakom (Raila) is out of the country for a minor surgical operation on his back. It is not a serious health issue, but just a minor one. So, he’s okay,” Dr Oginga said last week.In an interesting twist, Ida refuted the earlier claims, including speculations that the ODM party leader is in a critical condition.
”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.”
“Treat such rumours with utmost contempt and abhorrence. It’s not right to speculate on someone’s health,”Ida said.
