Oburu Odinga breaks silence, says he is recovering in hospital

ODM leader Dr Oburu Odinga has tonight broken his silence, assuring Kenyans he is recovering in hospital after more than one and a half months out of the public eye. Speaking during a celebration to mark his 83rd birthday at The Nairobi Hospital, Oburu hit back at those spreading rumours and mocking his health, urging them to pray for him instead. His remarks come amid mounting speculation over his condition, prompting the Odinga family to reassure Kenyans during the first anniversary of Raila Odinga’s death that the ODM leader was responding well to treatment.
