On a joyous note, Rosemary Odinga, the eldest daughter of opposition leader Raila Odinga, has finally regained her eyesight after a two-year battle with blindness.
According to reports, Rosemary made the revelation on Wednesday, December 25, 2019, after she accompanied her father to attend a Christmas service at St Peter's ACK church in Bondo, Siaya County.
She narrated how difficult it was for her to quickly learn to use sounds and movements of people to tell who was around her, and how painful it was for her not to see her children.
Rosemary fell sick in 2017, prompting her to undergo a brain tumour surgery which made her lose her sight. Her medical condition made her pull out of the race to become Kibra MP in the 2017 General Election.
However, the Odinga family was not alone in celebration. Kenyans took to social media to express their delight in Rosemary's recovery.
Her father, Raila Odinga, expressed joy in her daughter's change of fortunes, terming the development a great relief for the family which has endured untold agony arising from Rosemary's condition.
