According to the former Prime Minister, politics has no permanent friends or enemies and so he had forgiven those behind his aborted tour in the county. 

Speaking in Bomet on Sunday during a funds drive at Ndanai Catholic Church, Raila insisted that his quest for IEBC reforms was unstoppable, arguing that the country was in dire need of reforms. 

"Good governance comes with having good structures in place. IEBC commissioners must be ejected if at all the coming elections have to be free and fair. They lost their credibility and we don't trust them anymore," he said. 

He noted that their weekly anti-IEBC demos were on as planned, insisting that it was the police that threw teargas canisters and used excessive force to incite their supporters into counter-violence. 

"We will continue demonstrating peacefully until the government agrees to listen to our demands which I believe are very genuine. The police should stop harassing us because demonstrating is constitutionally recognised," said Raila. 

On Saturday, police were forced to use teargas canisters and shoot on the air severally to disperse a group of youths who were hurling stones at Donnies Hotel where the former premier was holding a closed-door meeting.
