Rt Hon Raila Odinga on Scotland Referendum. Rt. Hon. David Cameron Prime Minister United Kingdom Mr. Prime Minister, May I take this opportunity to congratulate your government and the people of Scotland for the very successful referendum that has just been concluded. The results show the desire of the people of Scotland to stay in Great Britain but to enjoy substantial autonomy in running their local affairs in the spirit of devolution. Let me also take this early opportunity to congratulate you for your farsighted interpretation of the referendum results as a call for deepening of devolved governance and granting regions and communities more power over their affairs. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the future of the 21st Century world. Our Coalition for Reform and Democracy (CORD) has proposed a referendum for the people of Kenya so as to deepen devolved governance as a means of ensuring a stronger and united nation as we continue to progressively reform our constitution. In this regard we have a lot in common with the initiatives you intend to take and we shall always be ready to exchange views in the interest of our two nations which are tied by historical, cultural, economic and political sinews. God bless Great Britain. Raila Amolo Odinga September 19, 2014.
