Opposition leader Raila Odinga has told his supporters to stop hating a whole community 'because of one person'.
Speaking in Bondo on Friday, the NASA presidential candidate said it was wrong for his supporters to target members of the Kikuyu community 'because of Uhuru'.
"When one person errs, it's not all the community that is bad. I am asking you to stop hating all Kikuyu's because of one person, Uhuru," he said.
Raila was speaking during a fundraising in aid of those who suffered during the anti-IEBC demos in the area.
He seemed to tone down after several days where his supporters were accused of looting businesses of those associated with his main challenger - Uhuru Kenyatta.
The charismatic leader told his supporters that even Kiambu, Kenyatta's political bedrock, celebrate his as Baba - a moniker he earned from his supporters due to age and fatherly figure.
