NASA leader Raila Odinga on Wednesday launched a scathing attack against diplomats over their role in the ongoing political stalemate in the country.
Odinga has accused diplomats of being biased in their push for dialogue.
The opposition chief said the current political issues in the country will be solved by Kenyans.
“This is a fire that is for us Kenyans to put out. We have stated our agenda for dialogue.” he told Voice of America on Wednesday.
He said that his coalition will go ahead with its plans to swear him in.
“If they do not, sisi hatubembelezi mtu (We will not plead with anybody). We will do our things, let them do theirs and then we will see where we will meet,” he said
Raila told off US ambassador Robert Godec over his remark that opposition's swearing in is unconstitutional.
“They are our friends but they cannot force us. Kenya is not a colony of America. We are a free country. We will do as we want. It is not us Nasa that have breached the Constitution because they have created an illegitimate government,” he said.
