CORD leader Raila Odinga urges supporters to remain peaceful during Uhuru Park rally

Kenya: CORD coalition leader Raila Odinga has appealed to his supporters preparing to welcome him on Saturday to exercise restraint and remain peaceful and civil before, during and after the rally at Uhuru Park in Nairobi.

“It is extremely important that supporters hold the peace, respect the rights of others in the city who will not be attending the rally and observe the rule of law,” Raila said.

The former Prime Minister also asked police to be civil and professional in handling the event and requested those in attendance to cooperate with the security agencies. He also appealed to leaders attending the rally to take it upon themselves to heal the nation.

He further reminded his supporters keep off the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport due to current security and logistical challenges.
