Raila Declares War on President Uhuru's Administration

Raila Declares War on President Uhuru's Administration

National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has referred President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto as megalomaniacs out to destroy the democratic gains Kenya has made since independence.

Speaking during a media briefing at the Okoa Kenya offices in Lavington on Monday to give his supporters the way forward following the declaration of President Uhuru as the winner of October 26th election, the opposition chief declared war on the government saying that Nasa will not rest until justice is realized.

"We will continue to demonstrate, picket and assemble. If there is no justice for the people let there be no peace for the government. We will not allow two megalomaniacs to destroy the freedom of democracy," He said.

Raila further said that Nasa will have two organs, a parliamentary one consisting of elected leaders and the resistance movement each with different functions.

"The Resistance Movement shall be responsible for putting in place a vigorous program for economic boycott, peaceful protests."

He further rubbished the October 26th election as a sham, adding that Nasa will form assemblies that will operate until a legitimate government is elected.

"IEBC manufactured results to show that Uhuru won. Our figures show that only 3.5 million Kenyans voted. IEBC was never in charge of this (October 26) election, we saw county commanders, Jubilee politicians give information about a process IEBC should have been in charge of. We reiterate that this election must not stand, If allowed to stand it will make a mockery of elections.”

“Today we establish People's Assembly to restore democracy in the country. The People’s Assembly will have the youth, religious leaders, economic interest groups and the civil society.”

The ODM leader further said that Nasa is advocating for dialogue, but clarified that it should not be understood to be calls for coalition government. "NASA is for dialogue. All political differences are settled through dialogue."

Raila says People Assembly will run Kenya until a legitimate executive is elected and formed. Says who? Kenyatta was legitimately elected on August 8 and again on October 26. The Peoples Assembly will be another illegal outfit similar to the National Resistance Movement. Raila, wake up and smell the coffee. Kenya has zero space for these revolutionary outfits. Serikali ina wenyewe. You run, you lose, you shut up. You withdraw, your voters don’t count, you shut up. Utoe fujo uone serikali iko.

It's impossible to mention Raila and integrity in the same sentence. Kazi kwa vijana, Maize scandal, okoa Kenya, men in black, kidero, joho, kingi,ODM nominations for a fee, kawangware, kondele, dunga, gatina, Likoni....

Yes, Kenya ina wenyewe. It is owned by all Kenyans including you if you are Kenyan. But the government of the people cannot allow one or a few persons to continue disrupting entire livelihoods. Raila does not own Kenya, nor Uhuru. Today they are in power but tomorrow it will be someone else. However, today and tomorrow, the Kenyan people will be there and they are the owners. Yes, Serikali ina wenyewe.

Ok. Which of these is the much awaited bigly announcement? Assemby, riots, boycotts? These have all been tried and have been effectively countered or found to be lame. Or is it a cover for the real militia to operate under?

This mzee is mad. He is calling Uhuru and Ruto megalomaniacs but he is the one who thinks Kenya cannot move on without him. He talks of Uhuru and Ruto destroying democratic gains but he is the one setting aside governance organs and replacing them with his amorphous Peoples Assembly.... Hata wazimu huona daktari wake akiwa mgonjwa zaidi!

I don't know how ODM supporters do it..how do you keep following this guy as he metamorphoses to something different every other day? I would have a severe case of vertigo if I ever tried to understand him!

Well Ojinga, why are you scrutinizing the no. of voters of an election you boycotted and called Sham. Good luck with your "economic" boycott , assemblies and riots. FYI The serves door are open and I hope Kenyatta govt will order manual count of 8/8 election , we all know you lost that one too

"We will not allow to melagomaniacs to destroy freedom of democracy."
Does Raila even understand the words coming out of his mouth? Orengo should define and explain the true meaning of democracy to this mad man. The people expressed their will at the ballot box TWICE!

Now he has declared war!! The resistance 'movement' will burn and loot peoples property while chanting 'not my president'. The govt will have to deploy
gsu to deal with these goons and i bet Raila will start crying 'nrm lives matter' or something similar with his fingers crossed and butt cheeks tight, hoping the western media and govts start supporting his 'cause'.
Sounds familiar? When everything else fails, copy and paste.

RAO can never, NEVER, be the opposition that Kenya needs. He is tainted, he is NO better than what he seems to be criticizing....he has been there for years with nothing to show for it. HE SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE 'IT'

This is good for Kenya.
It is time someone declared a war on all the stupidity taking place in Kenya.

Raila after what you pulled between Aug 8 and Oct 26,you will have to try harder to stay relevant going forward. Kenyans are no fools and this includes even the small farmer somewhere in the country. Those are the people who have read you like an open book since 1982 attempted coup. They get sick every time they hear your name and frankly they understand you will never make their lives better. All they want is to move on as they struggle to make ends meet.Cross the border to S. Sudan, go help your cousins fight for what they don't even know or have long forgotten.

What is Uhuru doing that is destroying the gains since independence? Please name 5 Mr. Odinga.
Dont mention problems such as corruption that existed when you where the prime minister.

The flipside of being born in political dynasties is that they have never woken up to find no food, no shelter, no security, no hope for future, go to disadvantaged school on bare feet, live with medical conditions that are treatable, cannot afford to be sick altogether, never work a day's job to live-they work to keep appearances. They go to school not to get gainful employment but to get liberal education to protect their empires. That is partly why they are blind to how mwananchi's is affected by their power play. Their main agenda in life is to pursue power, because power is the only basic need that is unmet in their entire lives. So when rao declares war, it will be on our backs-we the people will be his horses of "war". These battles can be fought in boardrooms and courts of law, they do not want that route because it costs money-the cement that bonds the dynasties. They prefer sacrifice of the masses-because masses' blood is red while their royal blood is blue. For now, Kumbaya my Lord kumbaya..
