NAIROBI: The storm sparked by Raila Odinga’s call to President Uhuru Kenyatta to push for an early General Election rages on even with the Opposition leader thousands of miles away in China.

Raila, who is on a 10-day visit to China for the 10th World Eminent Chinese Entrepreneur Congress, lit the fuse with his declaration that the President should call fresh elections “to save the country from total collapse” days after launching a referendum bid that has infuriated the Government.
