Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga says he is ready to serve Kenya after his failed bid for the African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship.

He said the loss does not mark the end of his public service.

Speaking in Mombasa on Monday, February 24 during a meeting with President William Ruto, Odinga said he would announce his next steps after consultations. "I am available to help the continent of Africa, but more importantly, I am also available for Kenya.

I will consult widely and in due course announce the way forward," said Odinga.
