Azimio leader Raila Odinga Friday roared back into local politics with a scathing attack on lawmakers and government functionaries whom he accused of working to kill devolution.

Raila, who was supposed to have taken a sabbatical from domestic politics to pursue continental glory as the African Union Commission (AUC) chairperson, fronted by the government, charged that devolution is under attack.
