“This evening, I visited the family of the slain IEBC official Chris Msando. It’s a heartbreaking and unbearable pain to the young family. It is a Kenyan tragedy. No one has a right to tear at the fabric of life which another man has painfully woven for himself and his children. Msando’s death has degraded our nation,” Raila Odinga said.
