Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) Leader Raila Amolo Odinga has condemned the recent attack on conservationist and author Kuki Gallman in Laikipia.
The opposition leader, who has announced his interest in the nation’s top seat, said that the National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders do not support such acts, adding that they are unacceptable.
“The National Super Alliance condemns in very strong terms the attack on conservationist and author Kuki Gallman by herders who invaded her Laikipia Conservancy earlier today,” read part of the Raila’s Statement released to the newsrooms.
Raila, who is also the former prime minister, wished Kuki a quick recovery following the heinous act.
The NASA co-principal also called upon state agencies to conduct investigations, arrest and prosecuted persons behind the attack with immediate effect.
“As Opposition, we detest and condemn the hooliganism taking roots in this part of the country and demand action that will restore order before things get completely out of control,” he said.
Meanwhile, NASA supporters are anxiously waiting for the announcement of their flag bearer as the opposition seeks to dethrone President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto from power in the forthcoming general elections.
The opposition has been accusing the current leadership of failing to keep its pre-election promises.
