Winnie Odinga undergoes surgery

Winnie Odinga issues health update after undergoing surgery during EAC parliamentary games in Rwanda

EALA MP Winnie Odinga has undergone surgery after rupturing her Achilles tendon during Inter-Parliamentary games in Rwanda.

The former prime minister Raila Odinga’s daughter revealed in a statement on Thursday that she suffered an Achilles tendon tear during the incident.

Winnie tweeted a picture of her bandaged left leg along with an update stating she was healing well from the surgery.

She added that she would take some time off to thoroughly recover.

“Some of you may have been asking why I have been quiet. I ruptured my Achilles tendon during the IPG (Inter-Parliamentary Games) in Rwanda.

“I’m all good after surgery but I’ll be low-key for a bit,” she stated.

However, she did not divulge where the surgery was conducted or whether she was still in the hospital or was recovering from home.

Winnie, being a member of EALA, was among the parliamentarians who represented Kenya in the netball games in Rwanda.

The EALA MP was described as a key player for the EAC Parliament by her colleagues.

“Hon Winnie Odinga is our utility player in the EALA netball team,” Winnie’s colleague, Kanini Kega stated.

Apart from netball, Winnie also plays basketball during her free time.

The East Africa Parliamentary Games started on December 8 and ended on December 19.
