Why Raila he is taking a vacation
During a press conference on Wednesday, August 21, the former prime minister revealed that he will be changing his direction.
Raila explained that he will be focused on his campaign for the chair of the African Union Commission (AUC).
“You know I will start working on this continent once I am elected and that will be in February next year. I am currently participating in the campaign, but that does not mean that Kenya it will cease to exist.
