ODM leader, Mr Raila Odinga, has protested over the use of police
to serve him with an election petition.
Police officers visited the MP’s Nairobi home on Saturday night
and yesterday morning in efforts to serve him with the notice in
vain.
The officers said a senior officer at the Nairobi Area Provincial
Police Command sent them to help serve Raila with the petition
lodged against him. The officers, said Raila, had a petition
lodged by Mr Stanely Livondo who lost the Lang’ata parliamentary
seat.
"This is wrong, they are trying to intimidate me. I don’t see
where police come in ," he said.
Yesterday, the officers went back to the home demanding to see the
legislator but
security told the them to take the petition to the legislator’s
office. His wife, Ida, termed the officers’ action harassment.
