Rumours
being spread by some quarters in Nairobi that ODM/CORD Leader Mr. Raila
Odinga will vie for the Nairobi Gubernatorial seat in the event of a
by-election are untrue and should be dismissed with the contempt they
deserve.
That Mr. Odinga will be in the race in the event the
Supreme Court of Kenya upholds the decision by the Appeal Court to
nullify the election of Nairobi Governor
Dr. Evans Kidero are not only a fabrication but also baseless and only
intended to discredit the stature and persona of the CORD leader.
Mr. Odinga has stated not in one forum but on many occasions that he
supports Dr. Kidero and will stand with him at all times just like he
would to all the other Governors elected under the umbrella of the
Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD).
Mr. Odinga has always
stood for Devolution and it is his wish that the same is fully
implemented and County Governments given enough resources to ensure
adequate service delivery to mwananchi at the local level.
As a
statesman and a national leader, Mr. Odinga is focusing on bigger things
and the building of our great Nation. Therefore the propaganda being
spread in the streets of Nairobi does not hold any waters. It is
his wish that we all focus on more important matters of National unity
and stop these cheap, baseless and unsupported claims.
