Opposition coalition NASA leader Raila Odinga has castigated the international community for staying silent on police brutality waged against his supporters during NASA events.
Speaking to BBC on Tuesday, the Opposition chief further warned the international community against engaging President Uhuru Kenyatta's administration, insisting that his presidency is illegitimate.
“No single envoy in Nairobi has spoken about mass killings of our people...there will be no peaceful environment to do business until electoral justice is done,” he said.
Raila further took issue with Uhuru's inauguration ceremony held at Kasarani Stadium on Tuesday.
“Today is the wrong time to do celebrations when more than 30 of our people were killed by Kenyatta’s police,” he said.
“It’s a coronation rather than an inauguration. We don’t believe he was legitimately elected as leader of Kenya,” he added.
Earlier on Tuesday, NASA's plans to hold a prayer rally for victims of police brutality at the Jacaranda grounds were thwarted as authorities maintained that the event was illegal.
