Driver of Raila Odinga's Daughter Shot

The driver of Winnie Odinga - daughter of NASA leader Raila Odinga - was allegedly shot on Tuesday during the fracas that happened along Manyanja Road in Nairobi's Donholm area.

Trouble started immediately after Odinga finished his speech when police fired teargas to disperse the crowd.

According to sources within NASA, Winnie's driver was among five people who were shot in the melee.

The NASA leaders were making their way to Jacaranda grounds where they were to hold a memorial service for their supporters who have reportedly been killed in recent weeks.

Odinga claimed that police were constantly tracking his car and condemned the current regime for 'killing Kenyans.'

"This regime has no problem killing Kenyans. Lacking popular support, it thinks killing and the use of massive force is what will curb the massive Opposition that its unlawful reign faces.

"They (Jubilee) are the ones desperate for the discussions and keep sending emissaries to that end.

"I have said repeatedly that I am ready for discussions with President Uhuru Kenyatta if they concern the issue of electoral justice, the lack of which is destroying Kenya's stability.

"No other dialogue is possible until that fundamental issue of the illegitimacy of the President is resolved," read a statement by Odinga's adviser Salim Lone.

While NASA supporters engaged police in running battles, President Kenyatta was being sworn-in at Kasarani Stadium in an event that was attended by leaders from over 40 countries.

During his speech, Kenyatta stated that he would consider some ideas of the opposition in his final term as the election was not a contest between a good and a bad dream.

"I too listened carefully to my competitors, and, in the spirit of inclusivity, I will endeavour to incorporate some of their ideas.

"This is because the election was not a contest between a good dream and a bad dream; it was a contest between two competing visions.

"I believe that those who voted for me chose the better vision. This, however, does not invalidate the aspirations of those who did not vote for me," stated the Head of State.
