Prime Minister Raila Odinga has started his tour of western Kenya.

The PM will attend the burial of Hudson Isagi, the ODM vice chairman, Sabatia Branch in Vihiga County.

After the burial, Mr Odinga will address his supporters at the Muliro Gardens in Kakamega in the afternoon.

He is accompanied by Ministers: Musalia Mudavadi, James Orengo, Otieno Kajwang and MPs Ababu Namwanba (Budalangi), Yusuf Chanzu (Vihiga), Alfred Khangati (Kanduyi), George Khaniri (Hamisi), Ayiecho Olweny (Muhoroni), John Pesa (Migori), Wilson Litole (Sigor) and Voi MP Dan Mwazo.

On Friday, Mr Odinga lashed out at his political rivals saying they had no leadership credentials.

Addressing the public at the Machakos Bus Terminus in Nairobi, Mr Odinga accused some leaders in government of fronting tribal alliances ahead of the 2012 elections, saying it was divisive.

“We are one Kenya and that is our philosophy as ODM. Those going round the country under the tag of “KKK” are merely out to preach tribal politics.”
