Speaking at a function in Nairobi, Karua, who was celebrating her 57th birthday yesterday, said Kenyans are tired of being ruled by criminals and it is time for a reformer like Raila Odinga rules the country in 2017.

She expressed confidence that the Okoa Kenya Movement will win the referendum because 95 percent of Kenyans support the referendum. “We will win the referendum with a landslide,” said Karua.

Even during our dinner...
