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.

Court hands Ida Odinga a major blow in her fight with Fidel’s widow

Attempts by Ida Odinga, through her lawyer, to stop the media from publishing details about the Fidel Odinga property row pitting his widow, Lwam Bekele, against Ida and her daughter, Winnie, have been thwarted by High Court judge Aggrey Muchelule.

Ida’s lawyer, Victor Olao, sought orders from Muchelule on Wednesday to have the media stopped from covering the dispute that has ended up in the public space.

“You are fighting in an open court; therefore, we cannot stop the media [from accessing the courtroom, or covering the case]. If the media finds the story juicy, let them publish [its details],” Muchelule told Olao.

Muchelule, earlier Wednesday, ordered a DNA test on twins allegedly sired by the late Fidel Odinga.

The judge directed that the test be conducted to ascertain the paternity of the two before proceeding with the succession case.

This is after Lwam objected to an application filed by Ida Odinga and her daughter, Winnie, seeking for grant of representative in the estate.

In her response, Lwam asserted that her son is the only heir to her late husband’s properties, denying knowledge of the said twins whose interest was raised by Ida and Winnie.

Lwam said Ida and Winnie’s application to have her son co-share the properties with the twins has been overtaken by events, having been allegedly filed outside timelines stipulated by the law of succession.

She said the grant of letters of administration of the estate was already issued on January 9, 2019.

Lwam claims that birth certificates of the twins, which were attached in Ida and Winnie’s affidavits, did not indicate the father of the minors, hence it is yet to be proven that Fidel sired the children.

She further claims the birth certificates show the minors were born on July 1, 2015, six months after Fidel’s death but Ida and Winnie alleged Fidel was already supporting the children.

But Lwam said that if it’s proven that her late husband fathered the minors, she will include them as beneficiaries.

The widow also denied claims that she has hidden her son from Raila’s family or even withdrawn him from the formal education system as alleged by her mother-in-law.

Ida Odinga disowns City Woman Posing as Her Aide

Opposition chief Raila Odinga’s wife Ida Odinga has denounced reports that city politician who allegedly urinated in her mother-in-law’s house during a cultural wedding in Migori county is her personal assistant.

An irate Mrs Odinga distanced herself from Risper Adinda, the owner of the popular Ruby Cut Gardens Restaurant in the upmarket in Kilimani area who has been the talk-of-the-town following media reports of the shocking incident that happened in Awendo.

Ida has sharply disowned the woman saying she has never been her aide or personal friend for that matter and only came close to her once at the height of the campaigns in the last general elections.

It’s a common nature with most Nyanza politicians to scramble for a moment with the family of regional kingpin Raila Odinga and it would be of great political bonus if such rare moments were captured in camera.

There are reports that Ms Adinda who displayed her interest in Migori women seat fashioned herself as a close Ida friend ostensibly to win the heart of voters.
