Maasai elders in Kajiado have told off NASA leader Raila Odinga in his recent call for boycotting of work by Kenyans.
Led by Kajiado representative of National Council of Elders David Sankori, the elders termed Raila's call "scheme to sabotage the economy of our nation".
"The people of Kajiado have gone back to their duties and businesses are back to normal. We are urging the rest of Kenyans to go back to work as it is them who will lose out when they are sacked," Sankori said as quoted by the Nation.
The former Kajiado Central MP told Raila to respect the decision of the people in the general polls.
"Kenyans made a decision on the ballot box and elected their leaders in an election everyone agrees was free and fair. Mr Odinga, who calls himself a reformer and a democrat, needs to respect that.
“If he has any grievances, he should take them to court for that is what the Constitution he helped midwife states. Anything outside of that is pure incitement and sabotage," added Sankori.
He further said: "It was very irresponsible of Raila and Orengo to say the things they said in Kibera in the presence of Nation journalists. Ironically it is only NTV that was broadcasting the event live."
"We respect Raila but he needs to be more circumspect in his utterances. He has huge following and thus needs to guide them effectively," he added.
