On December 27, 2019, news of Rosemary Odinga's miraculous recovery spread like wildfire on social media, bringing joy and celebration to Kenyans everywhere.
According to her father, opposition leader Raila Odinga, the news is a 'miracle'.
'I am so elated. The family is really excited and happy. This is a miracle,' Odinga said.
Twitter users were quick to express their joy and gratitude, with media personality Felix Odiwour aka Jalang'o saying, 'One more reason to be happy and celebrate God! Waaaa, Rosemary Odinga has regained her eyesight.'
Others, like George Franklin, wrote, 'God's grace is sufficient.'
Even prominent lawyer Donald Kipkorir got in on the action, saying, 'Dearest Rosemary Odinga, In February when we met, I asked you to let Jesus send you the Pool of Siloam.. I'm truly humbled you went. The Lord we worship is a true Living God. Give thanks to three.'
Rosemary's journey to recovery was not an easy one. She suffered the loss of sight after suddenly falling ill and has since been treated by specialists in Kenya, South Africa, Germany, and India.
'I felt alone and had to quickly learn to use the sounds and movements of people to tell who was around me. Those were the most trying moments of my life,' she explained.
