He also spoke candidly about the frustrations that he and his wife,ย Yvonne Wambui, faced in their marriage.

The two had struggled to conceive children for many years and pressure from friends and family did not make it any easier.

โ€œI hope she (Yvonne) will allow me to disclose this. We had been married for a long time and we werenโ€™t able to get a child in the very first years.

“We struggled for a very long time for about four, five years and eventually God blessed us with our firstborn a son,โ€ the 39-year-old Raila Junior revealed.

The young Odinga also stood by his efforts to lobby for the legalizationย the use of marijuana for medical purposes.

โ€œI still stand by that. The legalization is championing is for its medical use like fighting cancer. For instance, for someone like my honourable MP,ย Ken Okoth, suffering from cancer, it would help ease his pain,โ€ explained Raila Junior.
