Cord
leaders led by Raila Odinga have told President Uhuru Kenyatta that respect is
earned and he should respect the Opposition.
The
leaders were campaigning for their candidate in the Mathare by election a day
after President Uhuru Kenyatta campaigned for the TNA candidate on Sunday.
During his campaigns Kenyatta told Raila to respect him.
“I
respect my brother Uhuru and I also respected the court’s decision. If I did
not respect him I would not have asked for dialogue. The President should stop
demanding that I respect him, he should earn his respect,” Raila said.
Wetangula told Jubilee that they miscalculated
by misjudging the public mood. He said the fact that Cord was campaigning for a
Kikuyu candidate is enough to show that the coalition was not tribal.
“There is no looking back in our referendum
call. We sought dialogue over the myriad of problems affecting the country
including the high cost of living and the rising insecurity but they (Jubilee
leadership) refused. I want to urge the people of Kenya to be ready because the
referendum plane has already taken off,” said Odinga.
