NAIROBI, Kenya Feb 10 – The Orange Democratic Movement party is slated to hold special prayers for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as he heads to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the election of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission.
ODM Director of Communications Philip Etale said the prayers will be held at the Bomas of Kenya.
