ODM .......................................................................... Geoffrey ....

ODM leader Raila Odinga has stated that the party is ready for dialogue but with the right people who are peace constructive and not hypocrites who can be compared to the likes of Judas Iscariot .

Speaking at the Holy Trinity Church Kibera Parish Raila condemned the religious leaders for preaching peace but falling short in addressing injustice which he says has led to the current political stalemate that has claimed over 500 lives and left thousands displaced.

Adding that he has heard the call from Kenyans and they should remain assured that he will not let them down and will ensure that democracy prevails because if he fails now then Kenyan democracy will be dead forever.

And in an effort to restore calm in the area that has worst bin hit by the post elections violence he urged the local residents who had thronged the church compound not to treat their neighbors as enemies due to their ethnic background.

Adding that they are all Kenyans who exercised their democratic right just like anyone and the ones responsible for the political injustice are just a few known individuals.

Raila also condemned the police for using excess force in the area as he was handed bullet catriges that the residents had collected.
