Raila On Why He Was Sworn-in as People's President

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has explained why he agreed to be sworn-in as people’s president on January 30th.

Addressing mourners at the funeral of late Zimbabwe opposition icon Morgan Tsvangirai in Buhera on Tuesday, Odinga said his oath was a protest against electoral injustice.

“Rigged elections will not help Africa, they are held to perpetuate dictatorship and mediocrity on our continent that is the reason why I recently decided to take an oath… to say this far we go, we will not go further down,” Odinga said amid cheers from the mourners.

He continued: “We must stand for proper elections that are held transparently and deserve physically confirmed to how the people voted.”

The National Super Alliance (Nasa) took oath as the people’s president in a ceremony held at Uhuru Park grounds, months after he boycotted a repeat presidential election ordered by the Supreme Court.

Odinga cited refusal by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to undertake electoral reforms after a previous presidential poll was nullified by the Apex Court due to irregularities and illegalities found in the process.

    ….and instruments of power? He deliberately avoided to tell the mourners that he is a fake Joshua,a liar,political conman,a murderer,an inciter,a certified Lord of Poverty and a political prostitute.

    Stupid oath will only massage the egos of your dim followers and yourself. Kenya has gone to every election with a new electoral commission because of your self-centered desires to change goal posts every time. The last election had all the reforms you requested and you still lost. You are just a loser.

  3. Another funeral! What’s with…
    Another funeral! What’s with this chap and funerals? addiction? Is it where he refuels…perhaps usurping the spirit and energy of the dead? Were he the real president, we would need plenty of funerals apparently, because that is where LeaderOfPoverty makes his most profound proclamations!

    So was there a 21 gun salute and a red mkeka by Mnangagwa’s government for the people’s president? Someone alert me once they are in the know…

  4. And will the Nasarites…
    And will the Nasarites boycott the by-election for Homabay to be conducted by IEBC? Kindly tell us your agenda for Kenya. Raila thrives in lies and graveside politiking…. Tumechoka mzee.

    By swearing yourself as whatever president you knowingly ignored the Kenyan constitution and acording to you (Raila) a game is not fairly played if your team loses. Asiyekubali kushidwa…….

  5. Oh how I wish fake Joshua a…
    Oh how I wish fake Joshua a.k.a political conman and prostitute would just drop dead and rid our dear country Ojinga’s political nonsense and unending opposition to a legitimate and democratically elected government of the Republic of Kenya.

  6. Fake Joshua will be next…
    Fake Joshua will be next after Tsvangirai…..birds of the same feathers…..
