The move by CORD leader Raila Odinga terming President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto as dancing on the graves of the post-election violence victims is outrageous.
This is a desperate attempt by Raila to divert Kenyans’ attention from the serious problems facing the CORD leadership.
It is sad for someone of his calibre to travel all the way to France to criticize the ICC’s decision to terminate the case facing Ruto and journalist Joshua Sang because they were innocent.
But why did he in the first place congratulate Ruto after his case at the ICC collapsed.
He should have called a press conference in Kenya to criticize ICC’s decision instead of issuing it in France to attract foreign sympathy.

This means the former premier cannot be relied upon in the leadership of the country.
But for the former PM to criticize the prayer rally that was held in Nakuru on Saturday shows that he is not interested in peace.
The government has done a lot to resettle the victims of the post-election violence and it hurts when Raila claims that Jubilee leaders are dancing on the graves of the post-election violence victims.
If Raila is serious in what he is talking about, he should travel to the Hague based court and present the evidence linking Ruto to the post-election violence instead of condemning the termination of the case.
The former PM should be made to understand that power is God given and not through arresting of innocent people to pave way for him ascend to power.
Moreover, Raila should tell Kenyans what he did when he was PM for five years to address the challenges facing PEV victims instead of just mere politicking.
History has shown that Raila is good at mere politicking but has nothing to offer Kenyans.
Kenyans want peace and Raila should stop inciting them to engage in violence.
Raila should leave Uhuru and Ruto alone to unite Kenyans and solve the problems of PEV victims because he has nothing to offer the country.
