ODM party leader Raila Odinga has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to stop using the army to harass civilians.
Speaking at the Orange House in Nairobi where he received Jubilee-defectors from the Maa (Maasai) community, Raila reminded the President that Kenya is not at war within itself.
He further asked Mr Uhuru to address the historical injustices in the Maa community.
"The Maa community cannot live well since Uhuru is not ready to address historical injustices and he is using the army against poor innocent citizens. We are not at war," said Raila.
Raila further reprimanded Uhuru and asked him to stop lecturing him for he, was not Uhuru's son to be lectured.
"President Uhuru should stop lecturing me since I am not his son," he said.
"Kenyans want good leadership and not statements used by colonialists to blackmail Kenyans."
The event also saw the Maa community officially endorse Raila for presidency in the forthcoming general elections.
