The Former Prime Minister and Cord Leader, Hon Raila Odinga is set to jet into the country tomorrow after a two month long visit in the United States.
Ahead of his coming, the CORD Coalition has organized rallies and a welcome back party tomorrow, Saturday 31st May. with preparations in top gear, the coalition hopes to match to the airport to welcome back the father of Modern Democracy and the Flame of Freedom.
The opposition are however claiming that the Government is against their plans and have tried by all means to stop their welcome back rally. Speaking at the ODM Offices, Hon Orengo, a close ally of the Prime Minister, stated that they arent going to be cowed and that everythinmg is set in place. Cord Principals, Hon Moses Wetangula and Former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, will lead the millions of people to the airport to receive Rt, Hon Raila Odinga.
The message that wasn't well welcomed by the police has received mixed reactions forcing the Inspector General, Mr. Kimaiyo to cancel the earlier orders of the police to have all rallies cancelled. The coming back of the Premier, could be a force to reckon with as the Ruling Coalition already have some cold chills running down their spine.
however, the President acknowledged the fact that there is freedom of speech and that the Opposition coalition should be allowed to hold their rallies and even to critic the Government. Hon Muthama and Hon Evans Kidero have also stated that the rallies have to go ahead despite the Governments' call to outcall the rallies.
With the high rate of insecurity and earlier information's on the Former Premiers' assassination, nothing is being taken to chance. the Uhuru Park will have its security beeped up as well as the Airport and the Jogoo road that Hon. Raila is to use to the Rally. The Premier is also having been seen to have beeped up his security as he was spotted with a serious arm of the FBI intelligence security while in USA and while in Dubai where he is on a three day visit.
