ODM party leader Dr Oburu Oginga. He is in the United Kingdom for medical attention.

📋 Breaking It Down

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Dr Oburu Oginga remains in the United Kingdom for medical attention, with his family saying he has improved but is not yet ready to return to Kenya.

Kisumu Woman Representative Ruth Odinga, Dr Oginga’s younger sister, said the veteran politician is continuing to see doctors and that the family has no immediate plans to bring him back home.

Ms Odinga said the priority was to allow doctors to complete their assessment before any decision is made on his return.

“He has really improved, but we have not yet planned for his return to Kenya,” Ms Odinga told the Nation from the UK, adding that the family was in no hurry to bring him back as he continues with his medical appointments.

Dr Oginga is not admitted to hospital, according to his sister, but is staying close to the medical facility to make it easier for him to attend appointments and be seen by doctors.

“He is not admitted. We are staying just outside the hospital, so visiting is not a difficult task,” she said.

The family, she added, would rather allow the 83-year-old politician to complete his medical programme than rush his return because of his political responsibilities.

“He is also not in a hurry to return because, as a family, his health remains key to us,” Ms Odinga said.
