For months now, Raila has dismissed claims that he is working for government after his historic reconciliation with President Uhuru Kenyatta.

But Bosire, who doubles as ODM treasurer, said Raila is helping the country that had lost 'track'.

"Raila is a senior Statesman and whether is working as Uhuru's envoy, it should not worry anyone.

"In fact, he is helping a country that almost sunk. We expect him to hold bilateral talks with India as our major business partner," he said.

Further, Bosire added, Raila will focus on health, education and agriculture sector which builds the relationship between Kenya and India.

He also confirmed that the former PM will host President Uhuru Kenyatta and Tanzanian boss John Magufuli at Migori on Friday.
