The former prime minister left the country in June for the United Arab Emirates.

He underwent a minor surgical operation on his back.

On June 26, Joho said Raila was progressing well after undergoing surgery.

"We continue to pray for him. I have no doubt that within the shortest time possible, baba will be back in Kenya," Joho said.
