Raila gives update on Rosemary’s health condition


Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga says his ailing daughter Rosemary Odinga is better now.

Mr Odinga, appearing on a Citizen TV Thursday night, said Rosemary has since moved out of hospital and is now living in an apartment in South Africa.

Mr added: “We thank Kenyans for the love and support they showed us when my daughter Rosemary fell sick.”

Rosemary was flown to South Africa in February for further treatment on a suspected brain tumour. Last month, a recovering Rosemary expressed her support to the person who will win the Kibra constituency parliamentary seat.

In a video posted on Facebook, Rosemary thanked all who supported her bid urging constituents to change Kenya for better during the upcoming elections.

The daughter of Nasa principal also narrated her stroke incident that led to her hospitalization in Nairobi and South Africa where she is still undergoing treatment.

“It is following my doctor’s advice, that for the time being, I will continue serving my community in other capacities and regrettably bow out of the race for Member of Parliament. I would like to thank each and every person that supported my bid and the people of Kibra for opening their hearts and homes to me. I will forever cherish your outpouring love and prayers,” wrote Ms Odinga as part of her video caption.
