WINNIE ODINGA UNDERGOES SURGERY AFTER SUFFERING LEG INJURY

Winnie Odinga is recovering following surgery for an injury sustained during the Inter-Parliamentary Games in Kigali, Rwanda.

Winnie, a Kenyan representative in the Arusha-based East African Legislative Assembly, was among the participants in the sporting event, bringing together lawmakers from the East African Community (EAC) member countries. 

Winnie who is the last born child of Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga injured the back of your ankle prompting a medical operation.  “Some of you have been asking why I’ve been soo quiet lately, I ruptured my achilles tendon during the inter-parliamentary games in Kigali. I’m all good after surgery but I’ll be laying low for a bit. Gutted I won’t make it to Bondo this Christmas,” she said. 

Recently, Peter Salasya, the Member of Parliament for Mumias East, claimed that MPs taking part in the East Africa Community inter-parliamentary games in Rwanda faced challenges covering their accommodation expenses.  “I saw yesterday that the president was flourishing and buying goats. It is okay to buy goats. But as members of parliament, we came out here in Rwanda to participate in the EALA games, which is so surprising that even MPs have not been given anything. We have not paid our hotels, and they want us to compete,” he said.

Adding, “How can a whole parliament be here in Rwanda struggling with bills? I cannot spend my money meant for a tournament for the Mumias East youth and Christmas gifts on settling the hotel bills. Or should I go do the dishes to settle the bills?“
