Raila Odinga, leader of the Azimio, has been instructed by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to respect former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Gachagua argued that it was improper and disrespectful of Raila to include Uhuru in his rallies in public.

Gachagua claimed in a statement made on Sunday in Lamu that they had pardoned the ODM leader for all his actions except for misleading the retired President. The DP referred to the Anti-Government Protest That Uhuru Attended In Nyanza In February After Former Education CS George Magoha's Funeral.
