NAIROBI, Kenya, – Prime Minister Raila Odinga has said he will not stop commenting about a petition before the Supreme Court challenging Uhuru Kenyatta's declaration as president.

Reacting to President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta's statement on Tuesday that he should wait for the verdict on the presidential petition and desist from politicising the process, Odinga said the case was of political nature and he was free to comment on it.

"My brother Uhuru Kenyatta has challenged me not to politicise the petition but of course am not politicising the case because we are talking about a political office that is under dispute. (However) I will not be talking about the content of the case which is now before the court because that is sub-judice," Odinga stated.

Speaking after touring Kenya Ports Authority facilities in Mombasa earlier on Tuesday, Kenyatta said the Prime Minister's remarks on the issue were ill-timed because he has already filed a case in court.

"People need to respect courts and stop talking on issues which are before courts," said Kenyatta who added that he was ready to respect the ruling on the case.

He was responding to Odinga's remarks on Monday when the PM claimed to have won the March 4 election by 5.7 million votes against Kenyatta's 4.7 million votes.

Odinga made the claim days after he filed a petition at the Supreme Court challenging the declaration by the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) which handed the victory certificate to Kenyatta.

But speaking after meeting ODM leaders elected in Nairobi County, Odinga urged Kenyatta to desist from acting as if he was already sworn in as president and also await the ruling of the Supreme Court.

He said as far as they were concerned, the instruments of power were still with President Mwai Kibaki and he should stop using State resources such as motorcades and aircraft.

"Don't behave as if you are already a president in office; that itself violates the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya," he said.
The government has defended the use of State resources and security briefings to President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto, saying it is within the law.

Government Spokesman Muthui Kariuki is on record saying the move is not illegal under the Assumption of Office Act Section 9.
He said the president-elect is in order to receive briefings from State security organs.

Raila: I won
 
Raila I won't shut up. He is a problem to Kenyan people. He is actually fighting against democracy and not for democracy.

Tulia wewe, Odinga anajua fitina za Kikuyu. Akikaa kimya wakati mwenzake ananzunguka huku na huko tena Ndani ya Ndege ya Amiri jeshi Mkuu (Airforce One) Wakati hata kuapishwa bado, unadhani ni sawa? Wacha mambo yaendelee.

Kwani kuapishwa na kuchaguliwa ipi ipo zaidi? Uhuru Kenyatta is a President Elect of Kenya. FYI. Raila is NONE, hana kazi zaidi ya kupiga maneno miingi mitaani ili watu wamuonee huruma. N-E-V-E-R AGAIN in Kenya.
 
When will this guy "LEARN"? He lost three times.
 
Good for Odinga!

Why do they want him to shut up?

What are they scared of?

Let the man exercise his civil liberty.

Did ever happened in Kenya? Weka subra after two weeks utajua mbivu na mbichi
 
He he he moto imesha anza waka. SHUT UP RAILA, na yeye inajibu I WON'T SHUT UP UHURU. Hey tusubiri Supreme Court itoe majibu, kuna mtu atatokwa na chosi la damu.
 
Yeye RAO si ndie aliye file petition, sasa nini inamuwasha, au na hao Mahakimu hawaamini. Ngoja kidogo, there is a LUO in there. Shut Up Raila.
 
Maskini Odinga anafaa ila sijui lini kura zitatosha.
 
The President elect is right. This is incitement and there is a reason why he is doing this in Mombasa. He hopes to rile up the coast people to attack a certain community.

We should not be surprised that he has refused to accept defeat because he told us exactly that before the elections in the Financial Times. If the man is so power hungry, maybe he should not get it. He would burn the country by inciting one community against the other to hide his incompetence.

Did he say he won? Is this temporary insanity or could you be supporting a man who lost his mind a long time ago? Miguna Miguna told us that he sometimes sobs uncontrollably and we dismissed it as normal behavior instead of get him help.
 
Kenyans are tired of impunity and status quo, they demand justice,fairness,equitable sharing of the national cake.

Unajua tatizo lako nini? Ngoja nikusaidie mkuu, UKABILA, hasira zote ulizonazo kwa the President-elect ni kwa sababu ni Mkikuyu, kila hoja unayochangia lazima uzungumzie Ukikuyu!! Naamini kwa jinsi unavyolichukia hili kabila hata kama Massiah angalikuwa Mkikuyu na kashinda uchaguzi huu bado ungempinga!!!!!!
 
Let RAO talk and he should even talk louder. Even Uhuru is doing the same. Why is Uhuru seeking for coalition from Mudavadi's Amani and other coalitions which contested for the presidency? Why couldn't he wait the court's ruling first? It is a political game he is trying to garner more supporters so that if the court rules against his favour, he can win easily in the reelection.
 
Mimi nachukia hali ya kutaka kuifanya status quo kama sheri. Na ndivyo ilivyo kenya. Unaelewa roho mbaya ya mkikuyu? ukitaka kujua fanya utafiti kidogo. Nimesoma UoN Miaka mitatu, naelewa nachokueleza. Hata appointment mbali mbali katika serikali,asilimia 90 ya top positions ni wao,the rest 41 tribes wanagawana hiyo 10 %. Counties ziko 47, kati ya hizo makamishina 43 ni kikuyu.. ingia nafasi zote nyeti, narudia zote ..ni wao! Kwahiyo ikitokea uchaguzi wowote lazima Mt Kenya empire ifanyiwe mkakati wa ushindi..kwa njia zozote zile.
Wewe unadhani hata ile electronic system worthy 200bilions ilikufa bila sababu? Au wapiga kura milioni moja kutoka central kenya kumpigia kura rais tu na kuacha senators, governors na wabunge??? Hao ndo Kikuyu. Haya, subiri Odinga kaomba Forensic auditing of IEBC electronic system..ndo utajua Uhuru ni mafia.
 
This is what he wants..to draw Uhuru out into his muddled, confused and violent world...but the SC has the case...why is RAO fidgety? Why is he acting like a dying horse? It is him who coined the "two horse" mantra..
