We have spoken with him this morning. We know that he has the best interest for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>During the briefing, Kasmuel also criticised individuals he accused of attacking ODM leaders, including Oburu and ODM national chairperson Gladys Wanga, saying such conduct should stop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a party, we will not walk with tribalists,\u201d he said. \u201cJust recently, they were calling our party leader a coward.
