CORD leader Raila Odinga has backed President Kenyatta's proposal to have individuals who vandalise the SGR to be hanged.

The former Prime Minister said that the law should be followed in taking action.

The president had earlier during the launch said that SGR vandals will be hanged to death.

This is after a section of the new line was damaged by unknown people in Mariakani. 

The President had warned: "Mimi ni wakwanza kukubaliana ya kwamba urais umenipea nguvu ya kuweka kidole...wale watapatikana wakiharibu reli, nitaweka kidole wanyongwe (I acknowledge that the presidency gives me the right to pass laws...those found vandalising the infrastructure...I will pass a law for them to be hanged)."
