The former prime minister noted that he would focus on fighting corruption if elected in the August polls. 

"Nobody is indispensable in the war against corruption, We will deal with everybody equally," Odinga said.  

Odinga also mentioned that the Azimio would restructure the budget if elected in August to make the cost of living bearable for Kenyans. 

"We will see how we can restructure the budget so that we can be able to lower the cots of some of the essential commodities. You basically trim down on your expenditure and only deal with the most essential until you are out of the woods," the former premier said.
