r1976918-308871465904467.png Via Denis Onyango Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has denied reports that he is constructing a sh.1 billion home in the outskirts of Kisumu town as appearing in a section of the local press. Yesterday, Star Newspaper, read wildly and widely by ‘smart people’ run a lead story that Raila Odinga is erecting a multi- billion shilling 70 room imposing building in Kisumu’s Riat hills which offers a panoramic view of Kisumu International Airport and the city of ‘opposition politics’ and from where the PM would easily ‘run’ the city. However, Raila’s spokesman Dennis Onyango has refuted the claims: “The building appearing in The Star today (Saturday), and which the paper claims to be former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s upcoming Sh1 billion residence is Kisumu is, in fact, not a home,” reads the statement. “The building is expected to be the headquarters of the Raila Odinga Foundation and its twin institution, Green Outreach Foundation, Africa. Both are yet to be formally unveiled but are currently operating from small offices in Nairobi.Apart from hosting the Raila Odinga Foundation and Green Outreach, the building coming up in Kisumu will also provide conference, media, recreational and office facilities for hire and rental by the public on completion. It will host a Library and archival information covering the timeline of Mr Odinga’s years in public life. We expect The Star to publish appropriate correction,” adds Onyango

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive.
