NASA leader Raila Odinga. [Photo/Citizen TV]The Wednesday's attacks on IEBC officials conducting civic education on the October 26 repeat polls in some parts of Kisumu and Vihiga should be condemned by NASA leader Raila Odinga.His silence on the happenings to election officials in part of Luoland should not be ignored coming hot on the heels of alleged police brutality in the region that led to the emergence of the #LuosLivesMatter trend on social media where Odinga spoke condemning the brutality.If indeed Odinga stands for the truth and is a man pushing for a peaceful country then he must come out and condemn the attacks on IEBC officials just as he has boldly defended his supporters who were allegedly attacked by the police.On the other hand the state must discharge their duty to protect the lives of election officials who are going about their duties. Provide adequate security. If you can't guarantee their safety by all means don't send them into harm's way.This piece first appeared on Ezra Omolo Facebook page.
