Cord leader Raila Odinga received a standing ovation as he rose to address delegates at the close of the Third Annual Devolution conference in Meru County on Friday.
Delegates, who had not been attending most of the earlier sessions at the plenary, thronged the mega tent to listen to Mr Odinga’s remarks at the close of the conference.
