Raila is okay, Winnie Odinga says amid speculations on his whereabouts
Raila Odinga's daughter Winnie Odinga has assured Azimio supporters that her father is okay amidst the widespread speculations on his whereabouts.
The response by the EALA MP came on a day Raila failed to show up for the third wave of mass protests which enters its second day on Thursday.
“Tulia, baba ako sawa,” she said in a tweet on Wednesday night.
She was responding to a user who questioned the whereabouts of the leader even as police trailed key Azimio leaders suspected to be leading the demonstrations in parts of Nairobi.
“Baba, Raila Odinga is not in Karen, not in the streets, not in hospital…where is baba amidst all these demonstrations?” a user identified as Omwamba posed.
Reports that Raila had been hospitalised started circulating Wednesday morning but there has been no official communication from his office concerning it.
It is not clear if he is going to emerge today to lead the protests.
His bodyguard and spokesman Dennis Onyango, according to ODM director of communications Philip Etale, are being held by the police following their arrests.
The Coalition has since announced three new convening grounds in Nairobi during Thursday's protests.
NARC-Kenya leader Martha Karua, in a statement, said the protesters will meet at Huruma Grounds, Kangemi Grounds and Central Park in Nairobi's Central Business District.
She has urged Kenyans to demonstrate peacefully in their respective neighbourhoods.
"In Nairobi, the people will assemble at Huruma Grounds, Kangemi Grounds and Central Park (CBD)," she said. BY THE STAR
