Kenya’s ODM leader Raila Odinga has tested positive for COVID-19, a statement from his doctor revealed on Thursday night.
Consultant neurosurgeon David Oluoch-Olunya said he is responding well to treatment at the Nairobi Hospital.
“Following my letter of the 10th of March 2021 we have confirmed that Rt. Hon. Odinga has SARS-2 COVID 19. We are continuing to monitor his progress,” the statement reads.
The ODM leader was admitted to hospital on March 9 after he complained of general fatigue and body aches.
On Thursday, Mr. Odinga said in a statement that he received a briefing from doctors who had conducted numerous tests on him for the last two days to arrive at an accurate diagnosis.
“While the tests were several, one important result, which I have authorized the doctors to make public is that I have been found to have been exposed to Covid-19.
