Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has directed leaders to cease criticising Siaya Governor James Orengo and Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyong'o for their remarks on the broad-based government, urging them to leave the governors alone.

While boldly defending them, Raila said the two had not committed any crime as they were just commenting on the MoU between ODM and UDA. ''I don't see the reason why people are bickering.

When Mr James Orengo talks, he's talking on the basis of the MoU between ODM & UDA.

He has not committed any crime, he's got a democratic right to say what he wants to say.
