Daughter to Kenya’s former Prime Minister Rosemary Odinga has been suffering from a brain tumor and partial blindness for a while.
Odinga family can breathe easy after Rosemary showed significant recovery from partial blindness at the silver anniversary of her grandfather and Kenya’s first Vice President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga over the weekend.
Rosemary’s recovery was evident over the weekend as she made her way to the St Stephens Cathedral ACK Church in Kisumu without wearing dark glasses as before.
Her father held her left hand as she used her right hand to hold onto a white cane (A device used by people who are blind to scan their surroundings for obstacles or orientation marks).
She even used her mobile phone many times, scrolling through and reading messages effortlessly.
At one point she scaled the three-steps-stairs in the church alone as she went to offer her thanksgiving contribution. She later delivered her speech guided by her cousin Jaoko Oburu.
