President Uhuru Kenyatta has told Opposition leaders to take time off to review why they lost in the last General Election instead of engaging the Government in premature campaigns.

Addressing a public meeting in Machakos County yesterday, two days after Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) leaders Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetang'ula addressed a rally in the region to press for a referendum, the President said they should wait for the next General Election to start their campaigns.
