Uhuru said that Raila stands no chance of defeating him hence he should prepare to join the elderly persons who are unable to take care of themselves.
“Jubilee is ready to ensure Mr (Raila) Odinga benefits from the cash programme for the elderly after August 8 since he has not chance of winning the presidency,” he said, as quoted Nation.
The head of state, who spoke at Malava Township at the start of his tour of western region, said that he is sure that he will retain his seat when that time comes. He also called upon the residents of this part of the nation to ensure peaceful co-existence before, during and after the forthcoming elections.
“(Jubilee) are confident of clinching victory on August 8 and our aim is to unite all Kenyans and ensure peaceful co-existence of the different communities,” he said.
The remarks of the head of state come after Raila pointed an accusing finger at the Jubilee leadership over the increased cost of living while citing cases of Unga and other basic commodities.
