McOure said that in 2010, Odinga suffered a head injury that led to hospitalization at The Nairobi Hospital. He reportedly experienced headaches, fatigue, and weakness.
A neurosurgeon at the time noted “increased pressure” in his brain, possibly caused by leakage from a bridging vein—an issue that can occur due to age-related brain changes.
Recently, McOure claimed that Odinga traveled to King’s College Hospital in Dubai, where doctors discovered “something at the back of his head.”
The condition was reportedly too risky for surgery, so doctors recommended careful monitoring along with prescribed medication.
He also suggested that Odinga’s signature cap might conceal a scar from the 2010 accident.
The revelations ignited a firestorm on social media, with many Kenyans condemning the disclosure of personal medical details without consent. Comments ranged from:
“Even his family doesn’t disclose that information, but he thought it fit to? Suddenly, you’re on camera telling stories.”
“Revealing someone’s medical info without consent is wrong. They should sue him as an example.”
King’s College Hospital Dubai, renowned for advanced diagnostics and luxury multi-specialty care, has yet to respond publicly.
This controversy underscores the tension between public curiosity and personal privacy, especially for prominent figures like Raila Odinga.
