{ODM leader Raila Odinga has told the Jubilee administration to prepare to go home in August 8 for failing Kenyans.}<\/p>\n

During a tour of the Uwanja wa Mbuzi Stadium, a state-of-the-art multi-purpose facility in Kongowea, Nyali, the Opposition chief accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of taking the country back to the repressive days where all orders came from the head of State.<\/p>\n

Mr Odinga was reacting to comments by President Kenyatta in the recent past where he vowed to teach Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho a lesson, accusing the county boss of pestering him and interfering with his work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised recently when President Uhuru claimed he can stop people from attending a public rally. This cannot happen as provided by the constitution that Kenyans voted for in 2013,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Odinga said the new constitution created two levels of government which have distinctive powers.<\/p>\n

\u201cJubilee must know that we have the national and county governments which should work complementing each other. They are not in competition. If the Jubilee government can\u2019t accept this, then there will be problems,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He supported Governor Hassan Joho\u2019s track record saying the governor had initiated development projects in the county, as opposed to claims that he had done nothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis modern stadium here is a true testimony of Joho\u2019s achievements. This ground will help people to relax, exercise and play games. It\u2019s a modern facility found in a few places in the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He referred an incident where Governor Joho was stopped by police from attending President Kenyatta\u2019s function at Mtongwe as \u201can insult\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot stop a Governor from attending a public function, more so in his county. This is in the old constitution, not the one we are using. Every Kenyan has the freedom to attend any such function,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Odinga landed in Mombasa Saturday morning and is expected to address a public rally at Tononoka grounds on Sunday.<\/p>\n
