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.

This man baba is a joke.
Uhuru should just ignore him. I think the best thing is to declare a national prayer day so that people can pray for him. Who are his people? The canaan he keeps on talking about is just a pipe dream and hot air.
He has dementia and Alzheimer'. I think he is so fixed with chaos. He criminal and he terrorist people properties during elections
@Anonymous, Raila is not insane. When he says he will take his people to Canaan he really mean what he says. The word Canaan is just a metaphor for him. His real Canaan is death, injuries, poverty and destruction. Who can doubt he is not capable of doing that?
I am sure Moses Kuria is saying you will take nyokwa to Canaan
Ni Nyukua ti nyokwa.Muchawi Raila should tell us something about Ida's absence.Kwani did muuaji sacrifice his wife?
Raila may not be a coward but he is stark mad. He needs medicine.
Fake Joshua I believe in you 100% you are going to take us your followers to Canaan. Right now I am packing my luggage to go to Canaan.
Raila, you will deliver your people to hell in coffins. You are 100% irrelevant and only the illiterate nincompoops and psychopaths will listen to you (their God). I bet you Raila, leave alone Canaan, you will not reach Migingo Islands. Whom are you kidding?
My President!.
This sh*t is not even trending in local Kenya news, why do we need to have Baba's picture and headline here everyday with non-existent Canaan promises? Pliz, lets have more relevant political & development news rather than this old, tired looking and incorrigible mzee who has no new ideas nor purpose. Nimechoka.
Boom! I exhausted my comments:-). Everytime I log in to Mwakilishi I see that devilish red eyes staring back at me and it's enough to spoil my day nkt! Thanks for calling it MaragA!
@MaragA your judgement is spot on. In the recent times, One rao story in the local media is sliced into 5 articles here which end up being spread over two days! Mwakilishi please hit refresh key.
@Maraga, you are so bang on! I am also sick of this same old rubbish. We need to move on. I will now take a page from his book and boycott writing in about Raila and his Canaan mission. I think we are also aiding and abating his deluded mind!
@maraga, @sukari am also tired and sick. Am out out of here unless there is something else we can talk about other than baba and his acrobatics. Nimekwenda kambisa. mby mby nguys
The problem is not Raila now, the problem is the media. Why is the media still documenting things about Raila that they cannot verify. If Raila says 83% did not vote for Uhuru, can the media tell us how it verified this figures before reporting it. When will the parliament ever enact laws to protect the Mwananchi from fake news and media who are bound to destroy our country by repoting hearsay from a private citizen when elections have ended? Where is the parliament to pass laws about foreigners funding perpetual campaigns when the election period is gone? Where is the parliament to pass laws relating to reported matters or are Kenyans going to be held hostage by the media for the next five years by reporting useless information to derail the current government agenda? All election reporting should be stopped until another election period is declared.
Kenya Media is gutter press together with wannabe political analysts. I can't stand Kenya TV stations ...
Exactly you should be tracking your kamwana presso and not bashing baba with your hateful comments you would think he owes you money. .Let him be pende msipende he is and will remain the People`s president.
Coup leader is well compared to terrorists leader. Your Canaan is in hell. Make it real and see you on 12.12.2017. You will be teargas by full force.
Raila forgot one little point, how can he be sworn in while his VP (Kalonzo) is still in Germany with no plans of jetting in by 12/12?
