President Uhuru Kenyatta has warned the opposition of an inevitable beating in the August 8th elections.
Speaking while he toured Gusii Land, the president said if they won while at the ICC then repeating it while free is the easiest task. Uhuru also said that former Prime Minister is responsible for the 2007/2008 post-election violence something that Raila was quick to counter.
“We won when we had cases at the ICC, how will they defeat us now that we are free?” Uhuru asked.
During the 2013 elections, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto were at the Hague based ICC but managed to win. They were accused of organizing and funding post-election violence that led to destruction of property, lose of lives and forceful mass eviction among other ills.
When responding to the election violence link, Odinga advised Uhuru to look into the mirror and see the truth.
“We understand the desperation of the President for something to hang on to and re-energize his depressed 2013 voting bloc. We however advise the President to look around his entourage as he visits Kisii and also look into the mirror if he is interested in the truth on the 2007/2008 violence,” read part of Odinga’s statement.
