Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Friday toured Baringo County where he asked local communities to end cattle rustling.
Addressing a mammoth rally at Marigat, Raila, who is also the CORD leader, accused the Government of not protecting Baringo County residents who have been victims of cattle rustling for the last two years Jubilee Government has been in power.
Raila said the Jubilee Government has failed in its job of protecting Kenyans and that is why he is pushing for the Okoa Kenya referendum to address such issues.
“It is the common mwananchi like you who suffer when there ar
e attacks and the only thing the Government is doing is playing around with you,” Raila said.
The former PM also responded to Deputy President William Ruto who on Thursday declared a bare knuckle fight with Raila Odinga after he was implicated in a Sh 28 billion scandal of upgrading Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital.
“Then somebody says he is declaring political war with me. How can you start a political contest with Raila when cattle rustlers have overpowered you?” Raila posed.
“Tell him Jakom can beat him in an election and also physically,” Raila told Marigat residents.
