Raila Meets Kikuyu Elders in Nairobi

Opposition leader Raila Odinga on Monday held discussions with leaders from the Kikuyu Council of Elders.

During the meeting at his Capitol Hill Office in Upper Hill, Nairobi, Odinga assured the elders of his commitment to uniting the country through his March 9th handshake with President Kenyatta.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader also told the elders that he has given full support to the Head of State in the war against corruption.

"Leaders of the Kikuyu Council of Elders called on me at Capitol Hill sq earlier today. I assured them that the war on corruption has my full backing, in line with my agreement with the President to deny refuge to those accused of corruption and who try to hide behind parties and communities," Odinga said in a tweet on Monday.

The meeting came barely hours after Odinga jetted back to the country from South Africa, where he mediated talks between warring South Sudan President Salva Kiir and exiled rebel leader Riek Machar.
