Rosemary,ODM Leader Raila Odinga’s daughter, has moved to court where she has sued her personal assistant, John Oduor, for allegedly stealing from her. Oduor is said to have made unauthorized withdrawals totaling Shh245,000 from Rosemary’s account at NIC bank. The withdrawals are said to have been made between November 15 and February 5, 2019.
The suspect was on charged today alongside his wife, Christine Anyango, who has been charged as a co-conspirator before Nairobi Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi. The couple was released on a Sh100,000 cash bail each with an alternative to place a bond of Sh200,000 each.
Rosemary is adjusting to new life after losing her eyesight. She made her first appearance last year at the Raila Odinga Educational Centre. She said she will carry on with implementing projects in Kibera and donated 60 sewing machines to the institution. ”I am struggling to adapt to the new changes, having lost my sight during my illness. I have had support from everybody around me for which I am very grateful. I will continue to do what my heart most desires to empower women in our country. Since my operation and losing my sight, I’m happy people are welcoming and I’m now getting confident in how I communicate and interact with people.”
She suffered a minor stroke, leading to her hospitalization in South Africa. The illness affected her eyesight and forced her to withdraw from the Kibera parliamentary race, ”My year has been great so far. I thank the Lord for all the blessings. My family and my friends have also been wonderful to me. I can’t really complain. I take a day at a time.”
