Raila: Uhuru, Ruto Have No Mandate to Speak on Behalf of Kenyans

The National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga says that President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto have lost the mandate to speak on behalf of Kenyans.

Speaking on Sunday evening during a tour to violence-hit Nairobi's Kawangware estate, the opposition leader said that the two can only speak for themselves.

“The President and his deputy have lost the mandate to speak on behalf of Kenyans. They only speak for themselves.”

Raila maintained that Nasa was preparing for a credible election in 90 days and dismissed October 26th repeat election as a sham.

“Our position is to carry out a credible election in 90 days,” he told the crowd in his short speech.

He added: “They are saying that Kenyans are tired of electioneering but I am telling them that the country is tired of their prevarication, of their refusal to have a proper election.”

He thanked residents for obeying the opposition calls to boycott last Thursday's election, adding thar the figure being displayed by IEBC for President Uhuru are doctored.

“We told people to stay at home and they heeded our call,” he said.

“Nasa wanted IEBC servers and the Kiems kits cleaned, but it did not happen. We did not see the reason for participating in an election whose outcome was already predetermined.”

He further lashed out at those calling for his retirement from active politics, saying that he will only hang the boots when he deems it fit.

“They are saying that I am very old and I cannot lead the country, but I want to tell them that one can be young but with a very old mindset. Nasa has good policies to eradicate poverty,” said Raila.

Uhuru and Ruto can speak on behalf of Kenyans. You are the one without a mandate to speak on behalf of Kenyans. Kenya is not an animal farm. But if you, Raila lives in an animal farm, then it is obvious there would be mandate there. It has a constitution that we must abide by. The constitution is the mandate.

Uhuru is timid AF. He just gonna let Raila run amok and start a civil war? That ccn interview was to tell the world "im toppling this president.. Shit is about to go down!!". This resistance movement is an guerilla ARMY and when they get their hands on ak47s and other weapons, its on!. Raila is back to his 1982 ways but this time he is hiding behind 'democracy and full extent of the constitution.'

Sheeeeeit! Uhuru needs to put his foot down and get things in order. A wise man who has read many books once said 'Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm'. Good leadership is not a product of perfect circumstances. Uhuru needs to be decisive and get us out of this mess.

Baba gani hapa? Baba ya nani? Babas are supposed to be role models but this one (Raila), whose role model can he be? Who wants to be like him? I think it is a high time we stop calling him baba and call him Mr. Tyrant. That is the name that befits him.

Many many Luos are really good people like anyone else. You Raila is poison thorn within your tribesmen. You carry with you your satanic conversation methods to your good people. When you tell them in your venacular language to go out and maim or cause social disobedience you very well know that your comfort is intact. You undoubtedly will be sitting sipping whatever and watching your surrogates destroy other peoples businesses and getting shot at. That's your abbys. When you ask them to boycott essential services you very well know that you are not affected. You eat ugali or chapati and milk when you want. You swipe or use loot of money reserved in your house as you want. Everyone else suffers for you. It's not by any measure good governance. It's just a sell out. Everyone worldwide is keenly watching. And watching you in particular. The last time you went to court to challenge the elections your prayers were granted. But yet you made some miscalculations and withdrew from your own game. You went ahead and hired goons or insigated your innumerable populace to cause iebc not to do elections. That order was only undertaken by your own tribesmate. Currently you seem so overwhelmed with matters reasonble. Kindly find a quick way to recess. Don't forget to take with you your presumably learned friend Orengo. And every other baba trained thug within your zone.

It was a sham election.You run against yourself and act surprised you won and then you reach out to the opposition and ask them to accept defeat.Baba is not stupid to just hand over the win but then again you have convinced yourself that is what he did and you are free to enjoy your short-lived victory .
