NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 3 - Prime Minister Raila Odinga will be discharged from hospital on Sunday, his spokesman Dennis Onyango has said.

"The Premier is expected to be released tomorrow (Sunday) for further recuperation at his home," he said in a statement.

Mr Odinga was admitted at the Hospital on Monday after complaining of a headache and fatigue. Doctors diagnosed that he had pressure outside his brain which needed to be drained.

"Prime Minister Raila Odinga spent his last day in hospital meeting a cross section of grassroots leaders to catch up with the on goings ahead of his discharge," said a statement from the Prime Minister Press Service.

"The Premier who appeared relaxed and jovial assured his visitors that it was a matter of time before he resumes his normal duties although doctors preferred that the he takes more rest after his release from the hospital," added the statement.
