Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga has stepped out in a video for the first time since he was flown to United Arab Emirates (UAE) for treatment.
The African Union envoy, in a video posted by his daughter Winnie Odinga said that he was strong and doing better.
In the video, the former Prime Minister steps out donning a pair of sky blue shorts, an orange T-shirt and black shoes.
Winnie asks him how he was feeling, and Raila answers that he was feeling good, strong and rejuvenated.
In her caption, Winnie says that they were back, strong and fresh, ready for the game.
“And we’re back! Feeling good and fresh, ready for the game! A special message from @RailaOdinga,” she posted.
Raila while responding to his daughter’s post thanked everyone who sent him messages of goodwill.
“I’m feeling great and let me thank everyone who sent me messages of goodwill. Asante, Asante, Asante Sana,” he posted.
Early this week, Raila’s wife Ida Odinga had noted that the former Premier will stay longer in Dubai after undergoing a minor surgery.
Speaking to The Standard Newspaper, Ida revealed that her husband was successfully treated of a nerve disorder affecting one leg.
She revealed that the condition resulted in pain in the affected leg adding that she stayed in contact with him on an hourly basis.
She, however, noted that Raila might not be coming home soon as he needs more time to rest
According to Ida, many people would be flocking the home to see him if, was he around. She noted that each visitor always wants at least to talk to him thus eating away into his recovery time.
She also cited that since there are no commercial flights currently, the family will have to charter a plane if Raila was to come back. She noted that the process will be kicked off once he fully recovers.
