The embattled Opposition leader who made a second
public appearance on Sunday in the edgy Kawangware slum in Nairobi issued yet
another warning.
Former National Super Alliance (Nasa) presidential candidate
Raila Odinga warned the Jubilee administration against militarizing politics.
Making reference to the recent man who was brutally killed
in Kawangware amid fears of a repeat presidential election, Mr Odinga told his
supporters that Kenya as a country would not be governed by the barrel of the
gun.
“I want to tell Jubilee; that the country cannot be governed
by a barrel of a gun. Uhuru should know that he needs to resign so that fresh
free and fair elections can be held in 90 days,” Mr Odinga told a charged
crowd.
Raila addressed residents of Kawangware in Nairobi
after a man was beaten to death during violence following the presidential
re-run.
On Friday evening, several people were injured after panga-wielding
youths clashed following differences over the presidential election.
Mr Odinga criticised the police for involving in the
political matters, instead of leaving that matter to politicians.
"Politics should be left to politicians and our security
officers should keep off,” he said.
He added: "Kenya needs to be saved because
citizens are suffering," he said. "Tribalism has caused
discrimination and desperation."
