Opposition leader Raila Odinga has dismissed President Uhuru Kenyatta’s call to stop public protests against the electoral body in favour of a parliamentary process.

Speaking to The Standard on Saturday from South Africa, Raila said he had tried the parliamentary route to kick out the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) chiefs, but it had been blocked.
