ODM leader Raila Odinga on Friday left the country for a one-week tour of Germany.

Odinga left Nairobi, just two days after returning from Tanzania where he attended the burial of Tanzanian President John Magufuli’s sister, Monica Joseph Magufuli.

Odinga had left Kenya for Tanzania on Tuesday evening and returned on Wednesday.

On Thursday, he attended a function at State House where his wife Ida was feted by President Uhuru Kenyatta for her role in promoting leadership.

It was not immediately clear the nature of Odinga’s visit to Germany but the former Prime Minister has a personal and political connection to the country – having schooled there.

President Kenyatta is also expected to leave the country ahead of a White House meeting with US President Donald Trump, scheduled for Sunday.
