Azimio leader Raila Odinga has announced that protests will now be happening twice a week. Starting next week, his supporters will take to the streets on Mondays and Thursdays.

Mr Odinga attributed the additional day to public demand as his supporters requested him.

The former Prime Minister says he will not relent until the Government addresses the issues that he believes concern Kenyans. He cited the cost of living, electoral justice, inclusivity in government, and the dismissal of civil servants.

“We will not relent until the Kenya Kwanza government understands that the people are hurting and that their suffering must be at the centre of our priorities as a nation. We will push on until the cost of food, fuel, and electricity comes down,” said Odinga.

He also decried the conduct of the police whom he accused of breaking the law with the way they handled peaceful protestors and urged IPOA to look into it.

The Azimio leader also accused the state of trying to assassinate him with his allies

He said that during the demonstrations on Monday, their cars were shot at, but they escaped unharmed.

 

“There was an attempt on the lives of both Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka. Our cars were shot at but luckily, we were unharmed. We remain horrified and disgusted by the response of the police,” Odinga said.
