On September 4, 2019, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga visited ailing ex-Nasa CEO Norman Magaya in hospital, amid claims that he had been neglected by ODM.
The visit was confirmed by nominated MP Godfrey Osotsi, who shared pictures on Twitter.
Osotsi, a member of Amani National Congress, which was part of the National Super Alliance that Mr Magaya headed, tweeted that Raila had visited Magaya at Nairobi Hospital.
“Norman is not just a great friend but a person whom I admire his courage, brevity, commitment to a cause and focus. He is among the youthful leaders who will shape the future of Kenya politics. I wish him quick recover,” tweeted Mr Osotsi.
The visit comes days after a storm within the opposition circles where Mr Magaya was forced to come out and defend ODM against claims by an opposition blogger that the Orange party had neglected him.
Mr Magaya first collapsed in August 2017 at the national tallying centre in Bomas of Kenya during the tabulation of presidential votes after the general election.
