You're Not Above The Law, Omar Tells Raila Featured

East African Legislative Assembly member Hassan Omar on Sunday launched a scathing attack on opposition leader Raila Odinga saying the Azimio leader is not above the leader.

Omar called on Odinga to stop 'inciting' Kenyans to demonstrate against the government saying it is high time that he (Raila) accepts the fact that he lost the elections.

"I have fought for human rights for a very long time, I was also in the streets. Raila Odinga is not above the law, the country has spoken that William Ruto is the president in the most fair, trusted and transparent elections in the country and it is high time that Raila accepts this" said Omar.

Adding " Your right to protest does not extend to the right to topple a legitimate elected government. Enough is enough. This cycle of Raila Odinga must be broken".

Speaking during an Iftar dinner at the Serani grounds, Omar who is also the UDA Vice Chairman called on Mombasa residents to ignore calls by Odinga for demonstrations after the end of Ramadhan.

"Do not agree to go the streets, if you go to the streets tourists will cancel their bookings in our hotels and it is our sons and daughters who will suffer for lack of jobs" argued Omar.

Last week Odinga announced that the weekly anti-government demonstrations will resume after Ramadhan.

Speaking during the Azimio coalition town hall meeting held in Ufungamano House on Thursday, April 13, Raila claimed that the decision was made after a consultative meeting with other leaders allied to the coalition due to lack of seriousness from the government regarding proposed bipartisan talks.
