Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga nearly collapsed while handing Kariobangi Sharks the Sportpesa Cup.<\/p>\n

Contrary to the rumors that were doing rounds on social media claiming the famous politician fainted, a video has now emerged to show that Raila was only whiskered away by bodyguards after he felt a little dizzy during the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Statement<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a brief statement issued on Sunday, January 27, shortly after the rumours started doing rounds, Raila’s Personal Assistant, Dennis Onyango, said the ODM party leader only stepped on a podium that was falling off and that it had nothing to do with his health.<\/p>\n

“Hon Raila Odinga is fine in Dar. Images of security people holding him emerged from a step on the podium that was falling off and not anything to do with health. Thanks though to everyone who has expressed concern,” he clarified.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many however trashed the statement saying that it was clear Raila was fatigued after a busy week.<\/p>\n

Don't take us for fools, we have seen the clip, no podium in the vicinity<\/p>\n
