Orange party leader Raila Odinga yesterday sought to quell divisions in his Nyanza backyard, as well as the disquiet over the Building Bridges Initiative, ahead of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s visit of the region next week.

Raila assured residents that the constitutional amendments were on course despite the High Court judgment and that BBI proponents would carry the day at the Court of Appeal.
