ODM party leader Raila Odinga has appreciated Kenyans for showing love to her daughter, Rosemary Odinga, when she was admitted in hospital.

Rosemary was diagnosed with a non-cancerous tumor two months ago in a Nairobi hospital and was later flown to South Africa for further treatment.

Reports indicate she underwent a successful surgery to remove e the tumor.

Speaking Thursday during an exclusive interview on Citizen TV, the former premier said her daughter was in good condition and also thanked Kenyans for their support.

“Rosemary is doing well. She thanks Kenyans for their love and support. She was in the hospital for two months after the surgery but she is now out. She is in rehab and living in her own apartment in South Africa. We thank Kenyans for the love and support they showed us when she fell sick,” Raila said.

Odinga’s eldest daughter had expressed interest in vying for the Kibra parliamentary seat on an ODM ticket but later dropped out of the race due to her health condition.
