In the Southern African region, he will be given an office in South Africa while his other office will be in Nigeria to cater for the Western African region.
The former Prime Minister will have a fifth office in Egypt to cater for the Northern African region.
The details emerged even as some politicians in Jubilee demanded that he exits from the local political scene.
A section of Jubilee MPs allied to Deputy President William Ruto claimed that Odinga should exit the political scene and concentrate on the AU job which they claimed to be very demanding.
The Standard on Tuesday reported that some ODM politicians were concerned that their leader’s busy schedule might cost him political support in Kenya.
However, Odinga’s close allies Junet Mohamed and James Orengo have explained that the ODM leader was capable of multitasking.
Orengo said that the new job did not require the former Premier to withdraw from local political activities.
