It’s indeed a roseMARY Christmas as Rosemary Odinga, the daughter of ODM party leader Raila Odinga announces at St Peter’s ACK church in Bondo, Siaya County, on Wednesday during a Christmas service that she has fully regained her sight after two years.
“I felt alone and had to quickly learn to use sounds and movements of people to tell who was around me. Those were the most trying moments of my life. It was especially painful for me as a mother to not to see my children. People would see me and think I was able to see because my eyes were ‘wide open’. I am grateful for your prayers and support during those difficult times” she said
She was speaking after accompanying her father to the Christmas service.
“We got to appoint where we nearly gave up as a family after unsuccessfully visiting many hospitals including those in Germany, China and South Africa before she was finally healed in India” he said
Mr Odinga said the healing was amongst the many milestones the family achieved this year that they are grateful for.
“Doctors in South Africa said she will never regain her sight. However, a friend introduced us to a doctor in India who used herbal medicine to help her recover,” he said
He said Rosemary was admitted to the hospital in India for one month .
The news comes both as a surprise and a Christmas bluff, Rosemary was announced partially blind when she wanted to vie for Kibra seat in last years election and mysteriously, she announces that she has regained her sight a few months after Kibra-by election. Is this and was all these political con-tricks?
