Speaking at the same venue, Hon. Raila Odinga declined to make any major announcement but said he has neither accepted or rejected the request but he will speak as he can comfortably speak for himself.
He however warned against engaging in succession politics as it is too early to engage in such discussions.
Hon. Raila Odinga is expected to visit Taita Taveta before wrapping up his Coast tour in Mombasa.
