January 7, 2020, marked a significant day for the Odinga family as former Prime Minister Raila Odinga finally opened up about his daughter Rosemary's readiness for politics.
After facing numerous challenges, including the loss of his son Fidel, who was initially seen as the family's future leader, Raila has now confirmed that Rosemary is fit for political office.
Rosemary's journey to recovery was not an easy one. She had to overcome blindness and other hurdles, including concerns over the cognitive abilities of Raila Junior, who has struggled to communicate effectively.
According to Raila, his daughter's wellness required more than just hospital treatment. He had to seek the help of herbalists to find a solution to her problems, which ultimately led to her regaining her eyesight and being able to walk without assistance.
With Rosemary now ready to take on a political career, Kenyans are eagerly awaiting her leadership. Her interest in vying for a seat, particularly in the Kibra Constituency, has been well-documented, and many believe she would have been a strong contender if not for her illness.
As Raila's hopes for his daughter's political future are rekindled, the Odinga family seems hopeful that Rosemary will be the one to carry the family's mantle forward.
