The PM led thousands of supporters gathered at the Garissa stadium in condemning the KKK group, terming it opportunistic and made up of elements out to sabotage reforms. Before that, Differences in the ODM party saw the residents reject their MP Mr Aden Duale, whom they accused of being part of the team led by Eldoret North MP Mr William Ruto, a key member of the KKK group.
The crowd rejected several attempts by the MP to address them and introduce the leaders accompanying the Prime Minister. Mr Odinga had to intervene to calm the crowd and introduce members of his delegation. But even after calm was restored, the crowd rose in unanimity against Mr Duale, whom the PM tried to help address the rally. Three times, the crowd asked the MP to take his seat, saying they no longer recognize him as they believe he had abandoned ODM. Mandera East MP, Hon. Mohamed Hussein, who is also in the Ruto camp, was not there.
Addressing the crowd, Mr Odinga said the KKK group is made up of people blinded by hate and chauvinism and who had thrown caution to the wind in their search for power. The PM said ethnic alliances would frustrate attempts to reconcile the country adding they would scare communities that have always felt marginalized since independence. The KKK alliance is not talking about what is keeping our province back........Famine and Drought coupled with Marginalization of our people........So look ahead and be wise.....
