KAKAMEGA COUNTY: The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) will not be cowed by threats nor will its leadership be intimidated by accusations of engaging in hate speech, Opposition leader Raila Odinga has said.

The coalition has faulted the Government over the targeting of its leaders to record statements with the police on allegations of propagating hatred.  Raila insisted Saturday that the call for national dialogue is urgent.
