Cord principal Raila Odinga has accused the Jubilee government of dragging the country into darkness.
Addressing lawyers in Kwale on Friday, Raila bemoaned the level of corruption in the country, and the over burdening of the taxpayer.
“We are taking a closer look and once again we are saying we must jump-start reforms in virtually all our key governance institutions; the Judiciary, the police, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the schools, the financial institutions and even the Legislature,” said Raila.
The ODM party leader said the institutions are suffering from the impediments created by a government that is resisting change and striving to return the country to the old order.
“August 2016 is therefore a good time to share thoughts on corporate governance, corruption and the working of institutions. Kenya has slipped to the dark ages with regard to the observation of the rule of law and respect for human rights. We need look no further than the return of extra-Judicial killings that have resumed in full consistency and brutality,” he added.
Raila rebuked the extra judicial killings, citing the recent killing of Jacob Juma, lawyer Willie Kimani and Muslim leaders.
