Oburu Odinga, older brother of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, shared details of their final phone call the night before Raila's passing. The brothers had planned to meet in Dubai later that week, with Raila in seemingly good spirits and on the path to recovery.

• Oburu Odinga spoke with Raila Odinga on Tuesday night, hours before his death the following morning.
• The two had planned to reunite in Dubai, where Raila was to be discharged from an Ayurvedic Centre.
• Raila was being treated for a blood clot at a facility in Mumbai, not the Ayurvedic Centre where he later collapsed.
• Oburu received news of Raila's collapse while preparing to play golf, and learned doctors could not resuscitate him 20 minutes later.
• He confirmed that communiques about Raila's recovery were true and that the family, like many Kenyans, was unprepared for his sudden death.
