Raila Odinga's CEO Norman Magaya Admitted To ICU In Critical Condition

We understand that the chief executive of the defunct National Super Alliance Norman Magaya has been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Nairobi Hospital.

The Kenya Film Classification Board director has been in and out of hospital for sometime now after suffering a heart attack in December 2017. He has since had multiple heart attacks. According to him, nothing prepares you for the financial toll that a heart attack takes on you.

Slow but steady recovery from a dreadful heart attack. I remain grateful to the Almighty for the gift of life

Nothing puts your life on a freeze like a heart attack ! Complete lifestyle change ! Your medical insurance cover becomes a big joke! Your finances get completely messed up. I have learnt tough lessons. But hey am a son of God ! I will overcome !

The principal of NASA Raila Odinga reportedly ordered the leadership of Orange Democratic Movement to facilitate the airlifting of Norman Magaya to India for specialized treatment hours before his condition deteriorated further.

Raila Odinga visited Norman Magaya amid allegations that his party had abandoned the man who was very instrumental during the general elections of 2017. He is a known Raila Odinga supporter who has stood with him even when those close to Raila Odinga opposed him.

Amani Coalition's nominated member of parliament Godfrey Osotsi and Ruaraka member of parliament TJ Kajwang' accompanied Raila Odinga to visit Norman.


Norman Magaya is famously recorded in history as having refused to bribe members of parliament who wanted money in order to vote for him as Kenya's representative to the East African Legislative Assembly. His nomination did not sail through as a result.

We wish Norman Magaya a speedy recovery.
