The Coalition for Reforms and
Democracy leader Raila Odinga has
said he will continue with
countrywide rallies without fear of
being arrested.
While attending a church service
at Neno Evangelism Church in
Mombasa Sunday, the Former
Prime Minister said he was
representing the voices of Kenyans
and that he would not be
intimidated by the arrest calls.
“I have been arrested many times
in this country, arresting me is not
an issue, Ole Lenku you have been
appointed to do your work, just do
it and don’t politicise issues,” Mr
Odinga said.
Quoting from the book of Isaiah 1,
verse 18, the Cord leader defended
his calls for national dialogue to
address problems facing the
country.
“Come now, and let us reason
together,” Says the Lord, though
your sins are like scarlet, they
shall be as white as snow; though
they are red like crimson, they
shall be as wool.
He told the congregation: “The
sovereignty of Kenya lies on the
people of Kenya, They can exercise
it directly or they can delegate it
to other institutions. We are not
coming to dialogue with you
(government) for our gain but for
the benefit of Kenyans.”
At the same time, Bungoma County
Senator Moses Wetang'ula said the
'Baba Battalion' went to the port
city listen to the residents and the
issues they would like to be
addressed during the national
dialogue.
Senator Wetang'ula said they were
ready to be apprehended in their
quest for justice and well-being of
Kenyans.
He said Cord’s dream is to liberate
Kenyans from corruption,
unemployment, high costs of living,
poverty and increased insecurity
among other ills.
“A dream can be frustrated, it can
be delayed, but can never be killed
or defeated. We want a Kenya
where everyone has a right to be
proud to be a Kenyan. As Cord, we
want equal opportunity for all
regardless of your tribe, ethnicity,
colour, religion or race,” he said.
Neno Evangelism Mombasa Centre-
Bishop Robert Wafula called on the
leaders both in opposition and
government to work together to
ensure the security and safety of
all Kenyans.
He said the rising incidences of
insecurity are worrying especially
in Mombasa County.
Mr Odinga was accompanied by
Kisumu Senator Anyang Nyongo,
Taita-Taveta Governor John
Mruttu, Machakos Senator Jonhson
Muthama, Siaya Senator James
Orengo, Kakamega Senator Bonnie
Khalwale and Mombasa County
Deputy Governor Hazel Katana.
