The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy leader Raila Odinga has said he will continue with countrywide rallies without fear of being arrested.
While attending a church service at Neno Evangelism Church in Mombasa Sunday, the Former Prime Minister said he was representing the voices of Kenyans and that he would not be intimidated by the arrest calls.
I have been arrested many times in this country, arresting me is not an issue, Ole Lenku you have been appointed to do your work, just do it and dont politicise issues, Mr Odinga said.
Quoting from the book of Isaiah 1, verse 18, the Cord leader defended his calls for national dialogue to address problems facing the country.
Come now, and let us reason together, Says the Lord, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
He told the congregation: The sovereignty of Kenya lies on the people of Kenya, They can exercise it directly or they can delegate it to other institutions. We are not coming to dialogue with you (government) for our gain but for the benefit of Kenyans.
At the same time, Bungoma County Senator Moses Wetang'ula said the 'Baba Battalion' went to the port city listen to the residents and the issues they would like to be addressed during the national dialogue.
Senator Wetang'ula said they were ready to be apprehended in their quest for justice and well-being of Kenyans.
He said Cords dream is to liberate Kenyans from corruption, unemployment, high costs of living, poverty and increased insecurity among other ills.
