John Kerry : I Want To Unreservedly Apologize To Hon. Raila Odinga; 15.09.2017

“I still maintain my previous position that the queuing, identification and voting at the polling stations were largely smooth and peaceful.
On behalf of the Carter Center, we really viewed this as a success in its entirety.
However, I want to sincerely apologize for not being keen with the results tallying and transmission to the national tallying center.
Specifically, I want to unreservedly apologize to Hon. Raila Odinga ’, the NASA candidate for severally urging him to concede defeat yet the total tally was arrived at through a flawed process.
I also want to thank him for adhering to the rule of law by seeking a legal redress of that contentious matter. You have really proved to the world that the election was a sham just as you promised for that is what defines a democrat and statesmanship.
To the staunch supporters of Mr Odinga, thank you for showing resilience and restraint in the face of an injustice. That is the trajectory that other African countries must follow.
And to Hon Uhuru Kenyatta, thank you for accepting the decision of the Supreme Court of the land. However, it is time you stop denigration, vilification and unmitigated intimidation of the judiciary.
It ruled in your favor in 2013 and you hailed its decision therefore it cannot be that today it rules in your opponent’s favor and it suddenly turns to be a court led by thugs.
May God bless Kenya.”
