Raila stands his ground over the Jacaranda rally to be held on Sunday despite threats from the government.
Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance leader Raila Odinga has reiterated that their scheduled Jacaranda event will still take place.
The former prime minister declared in a tweet on Saturday that he will not be intimidated.
He instructed his supporters to gather on Sunday for the “No Handshake” rally at the Jacaranda grounds.
Raila’s statement follows President William Ruto’s Friday declaration that Azimio rallies will not deter him from serving Kenyans.
President Ruto said that Azimio leaders are taking advantage of Kenyans by asking them to attend rallies while their children are in Arusha and Europe.

“I want to ask you that you have taken your children to parliament in Arusha and others in Europe and then children who belong to Kenyans you want to take them to Jacaranda and Kamukunji, what do you take Kenyans for?” He said.
“I will not accept other people to distract me to plan their things and leave the work I am supposed to do for Kenyans. That one I will not do. We should agree on this early.”
Ruto said what they are doing is part of the process of their long game to remain relevant as they wait to try their luck at the top office.
Raila held a rally on Monday at Kamukunji where he said that he does not recognize Ruto as the president.
