Raila: I Must Deliver My People to Canaan

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has maintained that he must deliver his people to Canaan as promised.

Speaking during an interview with CNN, Odinga ruled out possibilities of entering into a dialogue with President Uhuru, stating that he would not engage a government that maims its people.

He said he will only hold discussions with the president once issues surrounding his legitimacy are addressed and police stop unleashing terror on his supporters.

"I cannot dialogue with a govt that maims its citizens."

"No more dialogue until fundamental issues of illegitimacy of president is resolved. Its unfortunate if Jubilee thinks I am power hungry to enter into power sharing deals with them to dialogue," he added.

He reassured his supporters that they will reach Canaan together, adding that Nasa will keep pushing for liberation. "I promised my people Canaan, I must deliver the promise. Canaan promise cannot be delivered through dialogue with a government that kills,arrests, tear gas its innocent citizens. We shall continue with the liberation struggle until we reach Canaan.The land free of corruption, police brutality and good governance," he told CNN.

On Tuesday, Raila announced he will be sworn in as president on December 12th, when the people's assembly convenes its sitting in Nairobi.

“Uhuru Kenyatta is not the president of Kenya. We do not recognise the October 28 election, that was a fake election. 83% of the population boycotted the election,” he said on Tuesday.

"I am not a coward, I will be sworn as president on Jamhuri Day, I am the legitimate president," said Raila.
