These were the words of AU envoy Raila Odinga when he pleaded with African nations to take it seriously. Speaking with SABC on Wednesday, Raila said Africans need to be told the disease is real. Raila said Kenya needs to increase testing facilities across the country or more people will be infected. But he noted that Kenyans and the whole Africa should believe that the disease can be defeated. Raila further appealed to African leaders to take this as an opportunity to get Africa out of poverty.
