President Uhuru Kenyatta has cautioned National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga against making sensational claims against the military.
The Head of State said that Raila’s repeated attacks on the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF), which he accused of being involved in election rigging plot, would incite Kenyans against the military.
President Uhuru lashed out at Raila, wondering if he has the capacity to lead the military as the Commander in Chief, if he was spreading falsehoods against it. “Surely, you want to be the commander of the armed forces yet you are the same one who is inciting the people against the military?” Uhuru posed.
Speaking while on a campaign trail in Laikipia County on Thursday, President Uhuru told Raila to allow the military and police to protect the country and maintain peace.
“Campaign for your votes and stop this propaganda of inciting the people or just accept that we will defeat you and let the country progress,” he said. “These people are now becoming too much. They are now waging war on our officers whose mandate is to protect all Kenyans,” President Uhuru added.
The President’s sentiments were echoed by his Deputy William Ruto who accompanied him as August 8 polls campaigns enter home stretch period.
“Kenyans want a peaceful election and that is why we should let the security apparatus to work,” Ruto said.
“Attack” is a Foolish Word”…
“Attack” is a Foolish Word” in respect to the Truth that Jubilee plans to use the Military to Rig the Election. And I can’t believe Uhuru is INSISTING on going to use the MILITARY to monitor the Ele tion. This is Nonsense and Blantant MisUse of Taxpayers’ Money.
Note:
– Military is for External/Invasion Security.
– Police is for Inernal Security
Meaning:
Election is an INTERNAL Affair requiring Police Attention; and so Miliary use is Sinister, Misleading. Fooling and Stupid of Uhuru Kenyatta.
Peace and stability of our…
Peace and stability of our country is paramount above all else. If the President and Commander-in-Chief deploys GSU and KDF in order to maintain peace and security in our country to avoid another 2007/08 PEV, so be it. All peace loving Kenyans can’t afford to have our beloved country experience another post-election violence just so that Raila can ride on the blood of innocent Kenyans to another backdoor power sharing and nusu mkate. This power hungry self-centered divider-in-chief and his blind whorshippers like @Guest1 must realize that the country is bigger than any of us including Raila and Uhuruto. Everyone including Raila must put the interests above their selfish misguided political interests. Raila will pass on someday, but the country will be here for future generations to the eternity. Even his fanatical whorshippers must never lose track of this fundamental fact.
Hon KenJuu. If Raila lies to…
Hon KenJuu. If Raila lies to the Country, I will tell him. But Uhuru is the ONE that has been Schizophrenically and Pathologically Lying and Inciting the Country since 2007, 2013 up to date (again and again)

Support of the minister, we offer superior system which is technical oriented next to no other country in Africa.
