Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s wife Ida Odinga has disclosed on how panicked the family was after her husband tested positive for the novel corona virus.
She narrated how concerned relatives and family friends called seeking to know Raila’s health status as soon as news of his hospitality went viral.
Speaking to Standard newspaper on March 14, the now relieved Ida said that the release of her husband from hospital brought back calmness to the family members.
“We panicked, but we are thankful to God that Baba is now in good shape and health,” she said.
However, she urged Kenyans to continue praying for the ODM leader.
“He is out from hospital, in good spirit and strong as ever. We need your prayers as he takes his rest from active physical engagements,” she added.
The now 76 year old ODM leader was admitted to the Nairobi hospital on Tuesday March 9 after he complained of body ache and fatigue. He was discharged four days later.
