Raila Odinga has refuted claims of threatening the courts over the pending presidential results petition at the supreme court of Kenya.
While speaking at the Ugenya Masiro home of the Siaya governor James Orengo on Thursday, August 25, the Azimio La Umoja – One Kenya presidential candidate noted that, contrary to the reports, all he did was to tell the public about their prayers to the supreme court.
“I did not threaten the courts. I informed the public on what our prayers are to the court,” Raila said.
Moreover, the former prime minister stated that he is a gentle man who knows the limit to which he can comment over a matter pending in court.
Likewise, Odinga bashed president-elect William Ruto for his remarks that his administration will reduce the cost of living and make the country a better place to live in.

According to the Azimio La Umoja One-Kenya coalition leader, the problem facing the country was corruption and there is no way leaders with track record of corruption can be trusted to tackle the issue effectively.
“The elephant in the room is not expenditure per se or county government expenditure. It is about dealing with the dragon which is called corruption” Raila stated.

Nonetheless, Mr. Odinga called for calm amongst his supporters, adding that his team has strong evidence that will see the supreme court overturn results that gave William Ruto the win.
“We want, if the court agrees with us that we won, to declare us winners” he noted.
