We'll Reach Canaan, Raila Reassures Supporters

National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has reassured his supporters that they will reach "Canaan".

The former Prime Minister has also urged his supporters not to attack other communities living in Nyanza and should embrace them as fellow Kenyans.

“If (President) Uhuru is at fault the blame should lie squarely on him. Don’t attack Mwangi in Usenge just because Uhuru has offended us, leave Uhuru for me to handle him,” Raila said.

Raila was addressing supporters in Usenge during a burial ceremony of a relative to his wife, Idah.

He insisted that there will be no elections on October 26th and urged his supporters to remain united and wait for his directions on the impasse facing the Thursday's repeat election.

On Friday, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader said he will make an important announcement on Wednesday on the way forward.

“I know how we will reach Canaan as there are so many ways to kill a rat. You can beat it, you can put it in the sack and drop it in the lake or you can decide to kill it by stoning,” Raila said.

Raila condemned brutality meted on his supporters during anti-IEBC demos in various parts of the country and accused the government of deploying excess police officers in Nyanza ahead of Thursday's election.

“We will continue to curse the police brutality even as they continue to flood the region with armed military officers to kill our people,” Raila said.

“There is no community that is in Kenya with the permission of the other community to be gagged while exercising its democratic rights,” added Raila.
