The former Prime Minister was tested for Covid-19 and the virus was not detected in his system.

"He says he feels okay, but doctors say some of the signs he has such as being tired, need to be monitored," Onyango stated.

Another ODM official had yesterday revealed that the ODM leader started complaining of body ache before checking into the hospital.

He confirmed that the former premier had also been admitted at the hospital.

The illness forced Odinga to miss a key meeting at State House Nairobi with President Uhuru Kenyatta. March 9 was the anniversary of the handshake between the two leaders.

The meeting was to also be graced by other pro- Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) party leaders.
