Pressure on Opposition chiefs Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka to be sworn-in as People’s President and Deputy President respectively piled yesterday as their supporters denounced their dialogue offer.

Leaders from the Lower Eastern region, the bedrock of Kalonzo’s political support, led residents in rejecting calls for dialogue between the National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
