Raila leaves Kenya for 1 week international tour

Uhuru is also expected to leave the country any time from now

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.
