"I still have my VISA with me and they are valid. The issues at hand mad me stay and they concern elections.If is not the first time I am going to give a lecture and nobody has denied me permission for go anywhere," said Mr Odinga.
He revealed that he shall be flying out of the country today (Wednesday) evening and that he will be traveling back on Saturday.
