CORD principals led by Raila
Odinga on Tuesday hosted Jubilee politician
Moses Kuria over lunch at a popular Nairobi
restaurant.
The lunch date which also saw other
politicians accused of hate speech joining the
duo comes days after Kuria was captured in a
video making inflammatory and inciteful
remarks targeting Raila.
In the video, Kuria is said to have called for
the assassination of CORD leader Raila
Odinga.
Kuria made the remarks at the thanksgiving
ceremony of a vernacular station radio
presenter held at the Safaricom indoor
stadium, Kasarani.
The video which went viral prompted a sharp
reaction from the Opposition politicians who
demanded action against Kuria.
Addressing a press conference in Nairobi at
Raila's Capitol Hill offices, the CORD MPs
threatened to storm Inspector General of
Police Joseph Boinnet's office only later to be
arrested for the remarks.
Today’s lunch meeting is likely to diffuse
tension and promote tolerance among the
leaders and within their supporters.
