CORD leader Raila Odinga has denied claims that he instructed MPs allied to the coalition to boycott the leadership conferences organized by the private sector alliance (KEPSA) in Mombasa.

He said his party was ambushed and could not be party to haphazardly organized conference. He vowed never to sign a charter and the resolutions of the meeting that was also attended by president Uhuru Kenyatta. The former prime minister came under attack from the conference participants in Mombasa for allegedly instructing opposition leaders not to attend the meeting
