Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has said there is nothing wrong with maandamano, the only thing that is not right is police brutality.<\/p>\n

Raila who was speaking on Thursday at the Devolution Conference was responding to Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii’s remarks.<\/p>\n

Bii in his speech said that they had their maandamano in the farms as the opposition was in the streets with sufurias on their heads.<\/p>\n

Raila fired back Bii’s remarks noting that he should be aware that even the constitution is a result of the maandamano.<\/p>\n

“I want to refer to what the Governor just said that they are expecting a bumper harvest because they did maandamano in the farms instead of the streets with sufurias on their head. I want to tell him that the katiba we have today is a product of maandamano,” Raila said.<\/p>\n

The Azimio leader further said that if maandamano can bring a solution to those affected by the Finland fiasco then it was okay.<\/p>\n

“I want to remind him that if maandamano can help the families who were lied to about their children being taken to Finland, there\u2019s nothing wrong with maandamano. What is wrong is police brutality,” Raila said.<\/p>\n
