Despite skipping Wednesday's Maandamano, Winnie Odinga has reassured Kenyans that her father and ODM Party leader Raila Odinga is fine. Following inquiries regarding Odinga's whereabouts from Kenyans, Winnie relayed the update.

“Sasa…Hii story ya Baba imetoka wapi? Baba ako sawa. Tena aliniboo na story ya gym 30mins ago,” Winnie Odinga tweeted.

Additionally, she tweeted "Tulia" in response to a Twitter user asking where her father was. Sawa, my father. "Stop heating things up."

Online rumours of Raila's hospitalization began to spread on Wednesday, but no official statement from his office. Whether he'll show up today to lead the demonstrations is still determined.

His Twitter account, however, has been active with posts decrying police brutality against protesters. “The voice of the People must be heard. Our peaceful protest continues. #MaandamanoWednesdayToFriday

“This illegitimate regime is targeting innocent children; using live bullets. Totally unwarranted, unjustifiable, and uncalled for. This happened in Mashimoni-Kibra today,” Odinga tweeted.

According to ODM director of communications Philip Etale, Odinga's bodyguard and spokesperson Dennis Onyango was also detained by the police at the time.
