Through a quick check on social media, it was confirmed that the former premier did not have any public engagement on Friday.
Raila last posted on his social media account on Thursday when he met India's High Commissioner to Kenya.
The ODM boss has been facing criticism following the formation of the broad-based government.
His opposition counterparts have also accused him of neglecting their course by joining hands with the government.
In some cases, he had been criticized for backing the Adani-JKIA takeover, which caused an uproar among Kenyans before its cancellation.
"I’m shocked that Raila Odinga regrets its cancellation. How can any patriotic Kenyan mourn the end of an agreement that would have compromised our critical infrastructure?" Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka stated in June.
"Our airports belong to Kenyans. Our sovereignty is not for sale. Such deals will never see the light of day in Kenya—not on our watch."
