Azimio leader Raila Odinga has come out to address his supporters over the next course of action after the ultimatum he had given the Kenya Kwanza regime elapsed yesterday midnight. He addressed the press from Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation in Upperhill Nairobi.

Raila Odinga who was donned in military regalia declared the beginning of countrywide mass action, in attempts to pressure President William Ruto to yield to their demands on the cost of living, IEBC selection panel, among other reasons. The former Premier was accompanied by his allies Martha Karua, Kalonzo Musyoka, Eugine Wamalwa, Wycliffe Oparanya, Jeremiah Kioni,  George Wajackoya  among others.

The Azimio leader also disclosed that the mass action will culminate in a major protest in Nairobi on March 20th in which he termed it as a day kenyans have with destiny.

Raila read out 15 point which he claimed were the reason why Ruto must go.

The former prime minister accused Ruto of “overseeing the looting of public resources”, which, he said, has resulted in the skyrocketing cost of living.

At the same time, Odinga accused the Head of State of introducing policies that have led to the “over-taxation of Kenyans”.

Odinga also took issue with the Cabinet’s decision to lift the ban on the importation of GMOs, saying the move will “destroy Kenya’s food basket”.

The ODM leader further took issue with the IEBC commissioners’ selection criteria, saying the selection panel that has been set up will “produce seven Chebukatis”.
