Wednesday May 28, 2014 – Senate Majority Chief Whip, Beatrice Elachi, has asked the Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, to sustain the ban on all public rallies saying the country needs peace.
Speaking yesterday, Elachi noted that the planned CORD rallies across the country and the much hyped homecoming party of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga are likely to cause tension in the country and should not be allowed to see the light of day.
She said Kenya has a number of challenges that need urgent attention and asked CORD to rethink on its decision to hold rallies and even equated them to terrorists who trive on people’s problems.
“CORD has embarked on rallies and will unnecessarily heighten political temperatures without even attempting to give solutions to the problems. It is very disappointing to have such an opposition, which plans to thrive on problems like terrorism facing Kenya”, said Elachi.
Elachi called on Uhuru/ Ruto to tame CORD before it brings backs the 2007-like violence that left over 1, 300 people dead.
