Azimio leader Raila Odinga has arrived in Murang'a for a town hall meeting scheduled for Thursday.
He arrived shortly after 11:40 am while in the company of Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua, and Mt Kenya leaders.
Raila assured Murang'a residents that the meeting will be peaceful.
He said it is in line with the coalition’s ongoing engagement with the public on the challenges facing the country.
He said the challenges include; the high cost of commodities, the search for electoral justice, the reform and reconstitution of the IEBC and the protection of the multi-party democracy.
“Like all engagements that the party has held in recent months, the Murang’a meeting will be peaceful and strictly within the law. I personally look forward to this engagement.”
Raila invited residents to turn up in large numbers and freely engage on the issues affecting them, saying similar engagements will be held in other parts of the country over the next couple of weeks.
Murang'a County police commander David Mathiu said he had cancelled the meeting as he was notified too late and that police officers would be deployed elsewhere.
But former Murang’a Governor Mwangi wa Iria, who will be hosting Raila, insisted that the meeting would go on and asked the police not to interfere with it.
