Azimio politicians call for Uhuru’s Resignation from the coalition party amid threats from the government.
With Azimio set to hold their protest rally on Sunday, February 5, the coalition’s leaders noted that there was a plan by the government to arrest them.
On January 4, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino disclosed that he had received a phone call warning him of an impending arrest before the Kamukunji protest in Kibra.
“I was informed by an officer that come next week there will be arrests. They can come in the form of arrests or change their minds to something else,” he stated.
In his remarks, Babu disclosed that the government intended to use the death of the Embakasi East Returning officer as the cause of his arrest.
“They should put more charges on me for all atrocities done in the country, I am a beast of burden. I will carry them on my back if they are scared to put them on the right people,” he revealed.
The Embakasi lawmaker also stood by his allegations against former President Uhuru Kenyatta, indicating that the latest security downscaling was a continuation of a protracted fraud.
He called for Uhuru’s resignation from the Azimio coalition party.

“The first person to be employed in this country by Ruto was who? Uhuru. Would you employ your enemy as a peacekeeper?” he paused.
“If you want to see the genuineness of all this, Uhuru should resign and come to our demonstrations and say tibim and tialala. Without that we are not kids,” he affirmed.
His statement was echoed by Nairobi Senator and ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna who dared the government to arrest them.
“He is not the first President to attempt to use instruments of power to intimidate and coarse and harass political opponents. Just like the others, he will fail too,” he opined.
“There is nobody that is intimidated by William Ruto or his government. The rights that we are enjoying under article 37 are not given to us by Ruto. These are our rights,” he added.
These accusations come in the backdrop of rallies lined up by the Azimio leader Raila Odinga who has been on an onslaught against President William Ruto’s government that he termed illegitimate.
