Coalition for reforms and democracy (Cord) leader Raila Odinga has left the country for a two-day visit to South Africa.
According to his Personal Assistant Dennis Onyango, Raila left the country shortly after 8am today to attend the launch of the first ever African Presidential Leadership Centre in Africa at the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory at 2pm today.
The leadership centre was initially hosted solely at the Boston University in the United States. Its first outlet in Africa that is being launched today is a partnership with the university of Mpumalanga in South Africa.
“Raila was an African-leader-in residence at the African Presidential center in Boston in 2014 for three months,” said Onyango.
He leaves the country at a time when Cord is putting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on the spot over the Okoa Kenya initiative signatures.
The opposition has given the electoral commission the last chance to complete the verification of signatures for its initiative, blaming the commission of being an appendage to the jubilee coalition government.
