Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga has confirmed that his brother, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, was indeed unwell and sought medical treatment in India, contrary to widespread rumors of his grave illness.

• Oburu Odinga clarified that Raila Odinga suffered a "slight illness" and is now recuperating.
• The ODM party leader is currently in India, not the United States or the United Arab Emirates as speculated.
• The confirmation follows earlier dismissals of illness by Raila's wife, Ida Odinga, who stated he was simply taking a break abroad.
