ODM party leader Raila Odinga has requested Kenyans to pray for President Uhuru Kenyatta after his bitter exchange with ODM governors Hassan Ali Joho and Josphat Nanok.
In a telephone interview with The Star, Raila said Uhuru was using his office to intimidate, insult and harass ODM governors.
"This behavior by the president needs prayers from Kenyans. He is not just abusing his powers but he is demeaning the institution of the presidency," said Raila.
"Something is very wrong," added Raila.
Raila also said Uhuru was out of order when he abused both Nanok and Joho.
"These governors are elected by the people. Just like the president they hold constitutional offices. There must be respect between these levels of government," he said.
The former Prime Minister arrived in the country on Monday evening from the US and is expected to make a statement about the state of NASA after a meeting with co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetangula, and Musalia Mudavadi on Tuesday.
