More groups are now calling on NASA leader Raila Odinga to cancel his unity pact with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
This is after Siaya Senator James Orengo said that the pact should be canceled following the treatment of lawyer Miguna Miguna at JKIA.
In a statement on Sunday, civil society groups stated that Jubilee's violation of human rights should raise an alarm.
”Instead, they want Raila to cobble an alliance with civil society as the only viable option of continuing the struggle for reforms. As such, the Civil Society Refernce Group calls on the former Prime Minister to tread carefully and not to hesitate to abandon the agreement altogether,” said the statement signed by CSRG presiding convener Suba Churchill.
Suba added that they will not support the deal unless we have human rights respect
“The Civil Society will not support the agreement signed as it cannot lead to greater respect for human rights ... let alone uniting the country,” Churchill said.
Lawyer Miguna was deported on Wednesday to Dubai despite an existing court order demanding he be allowed in the country unconditionally.
