Cord leader Raila Odinga on Friday claimed major State institutions were failures and hinted at the need for 1990s-style agitation that brought change in Kenya. “Only six years ago, we unveiled what was easily seen as one of the most progressive constitutions in the world. He blamed the government for the failures of the institutions, saying this was a deliberate move to scuttle change. He was, however, challenged by lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi, over the recent demonstrations to force out the electoral commission members. He said the government’s economic growth figures were untrue, saying the public debt had increased by Sh71 billion in one year.
