Last week, Raila also received Youth and Gender boss Margaret Kobia at the offices, causing confusions about Mr Odinga's role in Uhiru Kenyatta's administration.

"Hosted Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs @CSMargaretKobia who briefed me on the preparations being undertaken for the upcoming International Youth Day," he said.

At his office, Mr Odinga got a briefing on ongoing establishment of Special Economic Zone in Kisumu and revival of Kisumu Cotton Mills.

"H.E @RailaOdinga this morning received Trade and Industry Cabinet Secretary Hon. @PeterMunya for a briefing on the setting up of the Special Economic Zone in Kisumu, the revival of KICOMI," NASA tweeted.

Last month, Odinga's spokesman Dennis Onyango conceded that the veteran leader is being consulted on some of government related issues.

“Officially, his role is that of the AU infrastructure representative and relevant government agencies have been told to work with him and facilitate his travel wherever he goes,” Mr Onyango said.

Trade and Industrialization CS Peter Munya in the past revealed that President Uhuru Kenyatta instructed all ministers to consult Odinga on various matters.

“Don’t ask the obvious,” responded Mr Munya when we asked him about Mr Odinga’s role in the Kenyatta administration. 

“People have to face the reality. There’s no need to read politics. If we are to unite the country, we should work with everyone and spread development everywhere, including areas perceived to be opposition zones.”
