Raila to US: Keep Off Kenya's Affairs

National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga has asked Western countries opposed to his planned ‘swearing in’ to stay away from Kenya’s matters.

Speaking on Thursday, Odinga said that the United States and other countries that are piping pressure on him to drop the December 12th inauguration should understand the “the will of the people cannot be stopped”.

The US, through Donald Yamamoto,  the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary at the US government’s Bureau of African Affairs had asked Odinga to put off his planned installation and pursue dialogue. Yamamoto is in the country to push for dialogue between president Kenyatta side and Raila’s brigade following the disputed presidential elections.

However, Odinga said the US should stop talking about violation of the constitution as far as his inauguration is concerned yet it has been silent on killing of innocent and unarmed citizens by police.

“We thought we had friends but we were wrong and now we know they are enemies. Up to today, no single ambassador has condemned the killing of people by police,” Raila said.

“The western countries should, therefore, keep off the affairs of the country as Kenyan problems will only be solved by Kenyans themselves.”

The opposition chief was speaking at City Mortuary in the Nairobi when he met and condoled with families whose loved ones died during the post-election chaos.

He claimed that 215 people were killed during the time and the government remained silent over it.”The government should compensate all families who have lost their loved ones because they did not deserve to die while exercising their rights.”

    Finally, the blind can see!!

    Which leader only deals with those who AGREE with him?
    Which leader does not listen to any OPPOSING idea?
    Which leader RUNS to the WESTERN WORLD (read colonizers) looking for answers to OUR UNIQUE ISSUES……..but does not want the same western world to give an opinion IF IT DOES NOT FAVOUR HIM.

    WE do not want a leader who has NO STAND, one who DOES NOT BELIEVE IN OUR OWN, one who FEEDS his own to the DOGS!!!

    “…Raila Odinga has asked Western countries opposed to his planned ‘swearing in’ to stay away from Kenya’s matters…”

  2. Raila, sticking your finger…
    Raila, sticking your finger into the nose of the US (especially Trump) is not a very good idea. US targets terrorists with drones. As a revolutionist, you may be considered the “Leader of a terror movement”. Watch your back.

  3. We in the West will NEVER…
    We in the West will NEVER allow Kenya to destroyed by one egoistic individual whose only agenda is to become President under all cost. The interest of a Nation is above an individual’s interest. Kenya is the beacon of hope in East Africa and economic hub of the region. Westerners cannot allow this to be destroyed Raila Omolo Odinga.

    Raila Amolo Odinga you are the one who involved US in Kenyan affairs during your most recent trip to the US where you met with former and current US government officials and Think Tanks asking them to pressure Jubilee leadership to a negotiation table after you withdrew from rerun elections as ordered by Supreme court of Kenya. This is typical and disingenuous of you to seek intervention of Supreme Court, US, UK, AU, EU and UN and then turn around and reject their decisions because it did not go your way… Can all these countries and institutions be wrong and you right?
