ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga says has said it is possible for Kenya to attain economic success just like global economic giants like China with the right leadership and direction.

Raila, however, maintained that there had to be a clear plan and not mere slogans that only work to whip the emotions of Kenyans without offering tangible solutions.

He rallied Mt Kenya region to back his presidential aspirations saying, unlike Deputy President William Ruto, he has a solid plan to ensure Kenya is united and prosperous.

“You cannot tell Kenyans ‘kazi ni kazi’. Today in Laikipia, they very impressively laid out their challenges, and we had a comprehensive discussion on solutions. That is the sort of Kenya we want. A Kenya of solutions, not excuses, a nation at work and not bureaucracies. We want a working, efficient Kenya,” said Raila.
