RAILA IN US TO LOBBY FOR BETTER SECURITY AND POVERTY ERADICATION IN KENYA

Former PM Raila Odinga has called on  the US to support Kenya in the implementation of devolution by investing in the counties through  funding and training governors and appealed for stronger support for counties in arid areas, singling out Marsabit, Wajir, Garissa and Tana River.

The CORD leader who held talks with a number of US government officials in Washington, DC said he has put the election behind and is focusing on ensuring a faithful implementation of provisions of the new constitution.

Raila who later launched his autobiography at the Johns Hopkins University reiterated that when it comes to matters of National Security, there will be no opposition and government and Kenyans will stand together as one people.
