Opposition leader Raila Odinga and his spouse Mama Ida Odinga on Friday landed in Namibia, in line with his new African Union top job.
The former Prime Minister was on October 20 picked to head the African Union Infrastructure Department in the capacity of high representative.
On Friday, Raila and Ida embarked on a trip that will see him supervise and visit a number of infrastructural projects in the country.
They began at the site where the Walvis Bay Container Terminal is being constructed. The port is expected to serve Southern Africa nations and the entire continent.
"The terminal is being constructed on reclaimed land to increase the handling capacity of the Port which forms an integral part of infrastructure development in the SADC region and the entire continent,” Raila was quoted by the Citizen Digital.
The bay is expected to hold a capacity of at least 750, 000 twenty foot containers.
Raila has since named the incomplete works along the transnational highway corridors expected to form the Trans-African Highways Network.
Raila has since said that he will not exit active politics .
This is despite African Union Secretary General Moussa Faki Mahamat's initial confirmation that the job will see him make frequent travels around the continent.
