Raila: A Third Election is Meaningless

Raila: A Third Election is Meaningless

Opposition Chief Raila Odinga now says that another election will not be a solution to the crisis that is currently in the country.

Speaking during a presser at Okoa Kenya offices in Nairobi on Saturday, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader said that Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is crowded by criminal elements who will never allow s free, fair and credible election be held, noting that a fresh election would be meaningless.

“A third election does not offer a way out of the crisis because at the moment the IEBC is riddled with criminal elements who will never allow a credible election to be held,” he said.

Raila further said he will next week announce a raft of measures the opposition will use to resist President Uhuru Kenyatta's illegitimately formed government.

The National Super Alliance (NASA) leader also condemned the killing of his supporters during an engagement with police officers on Friday as he returned to the country from the United States after a 10-day trip.

"It is so unfortunate; we want to condole with all the families of the relatives. We are all mourning as a country for losing such young innocent lives to a state that has no sense to protect its citizens."

"None of you will be forgotten. You did not die in vain. You sacrificed your lives for the cause of democracy as it gave you the freedom to choose your leaders and determine the direction of your country,” he said.

Kenya. Keep on Tripping; but LEST you have Forgotten: KANU would NOT have fallen and Kibaki would NOT have Clinched the Presidency without Raila. So shame on you BASTARD in Politics! ANYWAY take to EQUITY Bank:"He has been called 'Joshua'. He has been in the battle field for 9 years. Sooner or later Raila "could" be out. On this day the politics of Kenya will shift. You will know how helpless it feels to be in a country where you are NEGLECTED but no one has the guts to Stand Up and Fights for You." - Charity Ngilu

Someone has intimated that Raila does not have a plan. From the look of it, it's true. Take it from every look. He is most likely than not scavenging on any pitfalls. The breadcrumbs on the flow. Everyday we wake up with new short term ideas just to counter the other. If he has to be trusted by all and not the cult sendry he should come up with a plan that fits most populace.

Guest 1!!! Mr Wet points out that RAO doesn’t have ANY plans!! True. His so called grand PLAN is from daily events until he gets one that’s work. But for now you are better than him, at least you are expecting the so called BIG announcement!! Never will!! IEBC and Electrol laws will change. We also all know come 2022 RAO will be on the Ballot and will still be demanding MINIMUMS!

Raila you are responsible for those innocent lives that were lost. My condolence to their families. When you send young people to throw stones to the police or to loot or to attack others or to burn vehicles, what then do you expect? The police will do their job to protect others and private property from being destroyed or stolen.

Ochunyo. You're wrong; and a WRONG Sychophant for Jubilee. You're in DENIAL too; Denying Jubilee. Raila did NOT order for people to be killed in Nairobi. What kind of parent orders his children to be killed? NASAns are Raila's Children that were WELCOMING Baba back home; NOT to be Harassed nor Killed!!!

It is sad we have to result to this route for justice. We did it to get multipatism, we did it to get devolution. We can do it again for a Democratic election. Kenya is not an asset for one tribe to dictate the governance

One tribe dictate governance? Please expound on that because I see all regions represented by governors, MCA, parastatal bodies. This brainwashing is so fucked up! You come here sounding so reasonable and then you expose the same stereotype you are trying to hard to mask! Does all the 47 counties get funding to develop their region , enuff said ! Maybe there should be no voting and rotate president seat every 2 years fro each tribe. That will solve this nonsense of tunaonewa, oh the president does not come from the same tribe yada yada yada!

Very smart Raila.

Too many people have been radicalised on both sides.

Kenya needs an actual transit or caretaker government.

But we know Uhuru Kenyatta and Jubilee are not intelligent.
They will force Uhuru on Kenyans and then start crying when they climb the walls of statehouse to beat him up.

Good for you Raila,for dealing with reality.

If IEBC is run by criminals,and Raila has evidence,he should to just what he did to annul the august 8th results. Take the to supreme court.

Raila; a delusional tyrannical treasonous lord of poverty leading brainless hooligans, goons, and goonettes. It's about time mechanisms are put in place to stop the political thieves and instill sanity in the country. Raila has now been reduced to a chicken whose head has been just cut off and as a result lacks a sense of direction.

Expect a presser every day to explain that there will a presser the next day, to announce the next raft of confusing measures.

A dotard, that is what you are Raila. You are responsible of over two thousands deaths and counting. When are you going to stop this quenching of blood? How many Kenyans have to die through your incitement? That Kenya gave you a tittle of Prime Minister is quite regrettable. You are a mentally deranged dotard. You are disgrace to human race

If you cannot reach them fruits, you rationalize they are unripe. Knowing that in SC case the odds are not in nasa's favor after boycotting election, this reaction is not surprising to safe face and keep nasarites in fold.
