We No longer Trust Police Officers, Raila's Wife Ida Says
National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga’s wife, Ida has condemned the shooting of citizens by police during opposition's demonstrations.
Mrs. Odinga said Kisumu, Migori, Homa Bay and Nairobi were the most affected, noting that more than 100 people were killed during the electioneering period.
Speaking during the burial of former Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma’s mother, Joyce Olenye Ayombe at Kombura village, Kobura in Nyando, Idea said that Kenyans have lost confidence with police.
"We have buried close to 100 youths following deaths attributed to such incidents and so we can no longer trust our security officers to protect lives yet we have in place the National Police Service as opposed to a police force,'' she said.
Ida further asked Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko to disinfect the raw sewage poured at Jacaranda grounds in Nairobi on Tuesday to stop the opposition from holding a memorial service for the victims of police brutality.
Nasa had planned to hold the event at Jacaranda, parallel to President Uhuru's inauguration at Kasarani Stadium on Tuesday. It is not clear who littered the raw sewage in the field.
“If it is true or not that you ordered fecal matter be poured on Jacaranda grounds, please have it disinfected immediately to prevent an imminent outbreak of an epidemic”, Ida cautioned.

Please tell for sure My daer Ida.you are our First lady and as women we are trusting the sruggles that kenyan women go through to be upbeat coz of your wisdom Esther .
Ida cannot speak for all Kenyans.I never told about having lost confidence with the police.All i know is that the police have failed to apprehend those who incite the senseless destroyers of public and private property.They have also failed to arrest or kill the NASA murderers who dress in stolen police uniforms but kill death volunteer Raila supporters.
Ida do you approve the goons your hubby fake Joshua sent to demos. There are 2 sides of the story. First look at your hubby & his thugs behavior. They are the cause of those killing
Can Ida tell us why his devilish husband,muchawi Raila sacrificed their son,Odhiambo Castro to his gods?Can she also describe how she saved her daughter who was to be sacrificed to South African gods?
Ida, thought you are better than this, Lord have mercy. Women face so many probs in Kenya including rape and incest and this propaganda is what you have picked on as your legacy. Bure, bure kabisa.
If do the right thing police are OK lakini ujinga wa mumeo ni u toto mwingi sana none can tolerate such evil mentality ya kulipa vita kwa nchi ya Kenya..so police wako kazi ni don't interfere
The police were never to be trusted before but now they have gained more confidence afer being told they were doing a good job by the self imposed president.Poor people nver get justice in Kenya that is the way it has always been.Thank you for shaming the so called mayor of Nairobi for his childish act. Transporting raw sewage so as to stop a political rally and you wander why he is unable to clean the city. He is just a drug dealer with a suit and when cornered he will resort to his thuggish ways ati tano tena.Down with Jubilee
I’m seeing a lot of ignorance and stupidity responses, very subjective indeed
