In a subdued version of his usually husky and resonant voice, ODM leader Raila Odinga yesterday announced that he had conquered Covid-19.
His voice, though frail, still carried the power of the fighter the former premier is known to be. It portrayed the will that kept Raila going through the three weeks he had been ill, one of which he spent at The Nairobi Hospital.
“I was on oxygen for a while. It is a process and you just have to be disciplined and follow the instructions of the doctors,” said Raila who spoke at State House, Nairobi, where he joined President Uhuru Kenyatta for a press briefing after they toured the city inspecting projects.
