Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has issued a formal apology following an attack on journalists and coalition leaders during an event he presided over at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation (JOOF) offices. In a statement released on Thursday, July 18, Odinga condemned the incident and expressed regret over the disruption that occurred after he had departed from the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Raila Odinga regrets the events of yesterday and takes this opportunity to offer unreserved apologies to the journalists and fellow leaders who were caught up in the unfortunate incident,” read a statement from his spokesperson, Dennis Onyango.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disturbance occurred on Wednesday when a group of over 30 youths disrupted proceedings at the Azimio meeting, interrupting a speech by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka. Video footage captured the chaotic scene, where journalists covering the event were also affected by the disturbance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odinga assured the media and coalition partners that the incident would be thoroughly reviewed and security measures would be enhanced to prevent such occurrences in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
