According to a statement by his Spokesperson Denis Onyango, Raila will be out of the country for a week.
During this period, the African Union High Representative for Infrastructure and Development will visit Ethiopia and India.
Raila will be attending the 35th Summit of the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from February 5 to 6 before leaving for Asia.
