President Uhuru Kenyatta has faulted NASA’s Raila Odinga over his endless demands against the repeat presidential election on Oct 17.
Speaking on Friday during a rally in Kericho, President Uhuru said by persistently moving of the goal post on the repeat election, it showed that Mr Odinga was prepared to deny Kenyans their democratic right to choose their leaders by forcing himself to power through the back door.
“The only way to stop him is if all of you will show him that you want peace, development and progress by turning out in large numbers to safeguard your supreme will on October 17,” President Kenyatta said when he addressed thousands of supporters at Litein on Friday.
The President added: “He (Mr Odinga) should stop taking the country in circles Kenyans want to finish with the election and get back to building their beloved nation. And he should know that he cannot ascend to power through the back door.”
Referring to the number of elected Jubilee leaders in the August 8 polls, President Kenyatta said he won the presidential election but was ready for a repeat exercise following the Supreme Court’s ruling that nullified his victory because he believed in peace and respected the law.
