Siaya Senator James Orengo has disclosed why Raila Odinga missed NASA's Baba Dogo rally in Nairobi County on Sunday.
According to Orengo, Odinga received a call at the last minute to meet envoys but had initially planned to grace the event.
"Baba had planned to be here but he has called me to say he is in a meeting with ambassadors to discuss key issues of his swearing-in and his government," he stated.
