Raila’s Team Urges The State To 'Leave No Stone Unturned' In Probing Uasin Gishu Attack.
Odinga’s presidential campaign secretariat spokesperson Prof. Makau Mutua, addressing a media briefing on the 1st of April.

Led by Odinga’s presidential campaign secretariat spokesperson Prof. Makau Mutua, the team said the Friday attack on Raila is an act of being savage and despicable.

The team also stated that the attack was politically instigated.

The secretariat further stated that if the issue is not well dealt with, it will affect the peace of the country and security during the election period.

We ask the State to leave no stone unturned in investigating the Soy attack on Mr Odinga and his entourage in order to bring the weight and full force of the law on those responsible,” Mutua said in the statement.

Mutua also asked Deputy President William Ruto and his allies to condemn the incident owing to the fact that it allegedly took place in his perceived backyard of Rift Valley.

This incident comes amidst heightened and dangerous campaign rhetoric by the political opponents of Azimio in UDA, the political party led by DP William Ruto. Mr. Ruto and UDA must condemn without equivocation this act of barbarism,” the statement added.

Such primitive conduct has no place in any democratic society, let alone the Republic of Kenya. Political campaigns cannot — and will not — be conducted in a climate of violence, fear, and intimidation.” Mutua added.

Mutua also took the opportunity to urge Kenyans to maintain peace during the electioneering period adding that all politicians are entitled by the constitution to sell their agenda in any part of the country without having to worry about outside interference.
