But the health scare that befell National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga in Mombasa two days ago has got us reflecting on the leader’s recent history. It was not an official Israeli Government event, and no Israeli governmental or political leader was in attendance. Israel is a well-known destination for medical tourism, which means when people travel to a country other than their own to obtain medical treatment. It has been reported previously that Raila travels abroad for medical treatment, and it may not be just for its high quality services but also for its anonymity. However, his spokesman Dennis Onyango said that the NASA presidential candidate was taken to the Karen Hospital on Wednesday morning, treated for food poisoning and allowed to go home.
