Wenwa Akinyi, sister to ODM leader and Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga, made a cheerful appearance at his home on Wednesday, November 11, sharing a warm photo with fans that offered a reassuring glimpse of the politician.
The visit comes after a testing stretch of months for the veteran politician. Oburu was admitted to Nairobi Hospital several times in 2026.
Close aides confirmed he spent time in intensive care during one of those stays, though party officials maintained he was stable throughout. He also travelled to the United Kingdom for further medical assessment before returning home.
The senator was notably absent from the first anniversary of his late brother Raila Odinga’s death on October 15, with doctors advising strict bed rest and no public engagements.
In the photo by Akinyi, Oburu is dressed in a short-sleeved shirt with a bold abstract pattern in yellow, green, black and orange, paired with dark sunglasses and a dark flat cap.
Standing beside him, Akinyi sports green-tinted sunglasses, a bright turquoise outfit adorned with black decorative stitching, and a colourful scarf tied at her neck in shades of orange, grey, white and green.
A gold watch is visible on her left wrist, and her right hand rests warmly on her brother’s shoulder. Both siblings are grinning broadly.
She captioned the post simply:
“Visiting my dear bro at his home.”
By early November, Oburu had been recuperating at home and receiving visitors, saying he was growing stronger and would soon return to political life.
The photo shared by Akinyi appears to confirm that upward trajectory, with the siblings posing in front of a modern building with large windows fitted with white sheer curtains, natural daylight framing them both.
