Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga says nationwide public consultative forums set to start on Wednesday, December 7, at Kamukunji Grounds, Nairobi, are not demonstrations as has been interpreted by some Kenyans.

Odinga, who was speaking during a press briefing at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation on Monday, said the opposition will use the forums to share views on the state of affairs in the country.
