Mombasa County governor Hassan Ali Joho, who also adds up as Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Deputy party leader, alongside Suna East MP Junet Mohamed on Thursday July 9, 2020 boarded a private jet to visit the Orange party leader Raila Odinga in Dubai.

Joho took to his official social media accounts to share their photos aboard the private jet.

Joho captioned the photos, “Off to Dubai with Junet Mohamed to see Baba”. The photos showed the two while at the airport, just outside the jet, with other photos showing them seated inside the jet.

The former Prime Minister was flown to the United Arab Emirates to undergo a minor surgery at a German Hospital based in Dubai.

Raila is now recuperating after treatment in Dubai. Recently, his daughter Winnie Odinga shared a video, in which Raila assured Kenyans that he was now feeling strong and rejuvenated.

The video shows Raila assuring Kenyans that he was back on his feet after a successful procedure.

In the video, Raila thanks his friends and his supporters for the messages of goodwill while he was being treated in Dubai.

His family had earlier on the media separately that the former prime minister was out of danger, but would not be coming back so soon.

His wife Ida Odinga told The Standard that the Opposition leader had been successfully treated for a nerve disorder affecting one leg, but needed more time to rest and would stay in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for some time until he was fit to resume his heavy political duties.

News about Raila’s whereabouts was first revealed by Oburu Odinga. He said that his brother had left the country for the UAE.

This followed speculation on his whereabouts with the former PM’s communication team denying it.
