His personal doctor, Olouch Olunya, a neurologist told the press on Wednesday that Raila he has undergone a series of medical tests after checking in.
Dr Olunya in a statement said that: “Odinga walked in for routine medical test at the Nairobi Hospital on March 9, 2021 after feeling some fatigue.”

“He is still undergoing some further investigations with a team of doctors and has been advised to take a rest,” he added. “We are continuing to monitor his condition and no doubt will be able to address the country in due course. He is in good spirits.”
Going forward, Raila’s personal assistant Dennis Onyango will be handling questions on the progress of the opposition leader.
Raila had checked into Nairobi Hospital on Tuesday and left for his Karen home before returning today morning after the fatigue and body aches persisted.
He has been asked to rest as doctors continue monitoring him. This means that he will not feature in any political event.
“We are continuing to monitor his condition and no doubt he will be able to address the country in due course,” he added.
