Opposition leader Raila Odinga has promised to support a man who assisted him during his time in prison. He says the two first met when he was detained incommunicado at the Manyani Maximum Prison decades back. “Mwavuda also doubled as the official courier for the prison and I would deliberately write official letters which would later trigger his transfer to Nairobi. In 2016, when the world was celebrating Mother Day, Raila said on Twitter he was given the news of his mothers’ death while in detention at Shimo la Tewa prison. Raila said, at one point while in Manyani prison, he went on a hunger strike causing his health to deteriorate.
