ODM leader Raila Odinga will soon be able to address the country after undergoing rest and treatment, his doctor David Oluoch Olunya says.

In a statement to the media on Wednesday, March 10, Dr. Olunya said the former prime minister checked into Nairobi Hospital on Tuesday, March 9, and a check-up on Mr Odinga was conducted “successfully”.

“Raila Odinga walked in for routine medical tests at the Nairobi Hospital on March 9, 2021 after feeling some fatigue,” said Dr. Olunya, a consultant neurosurgeon.

“He had a rigorous (sic) campaign, and needed to have some check-up. This was carried out successfully. He is still undergoing some further investigations (sic) with a team of doctors and has been advised to take a rest.

“We are continuing to monitor his condition, and no doubt he will be able to address the country in due course. He is in good spirits.”
