Kalonzo responds to reports on pulling out of Monday Azimio protests
Kalonzo denies allegations that he had pulled out of Monday, March 20, planned Azimio protests leading to State House
Kalonzo denies allegations that he had pulled out of Monday, March 20, planned Azimio protests leading to State House.
On March 18, Paloma Gatabaki, the communications coordinator for the Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka Command Center, flagged a viral poster that claimed the former vice president had abandoned the protests.
Kalonzo’s communication team insisted that the Wiper Leader was still advocating for a lower cost of living alongside former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
“Kalonzo Musyoka’s stance is clear and unequivocal: Lower the cost of living and end electoral malpractice. No amount of intimidation will alter our stand,” Gatabaki stated.
The report claims that Kalonzo withdrew from the demonstrations, saying he was saving his people from more suffering.
“I would like to distance myself from protests (Maandamano). My people have suffered enough under selfish individuals, and I don’t want to see them fall into that trap again,” the fake poster claimed.
Kalonzo has since retweeted the tweet.

It was then shared on social media despite Kalonzo’s declaration on Friday, March 17, during a series of rallies in Kiambu County.
Kalonzo vowed to lead peaceful protests to the State House before presenting their demands to President William Ruto.
Affirming his presence at Monday’s event, Kalonzo noted that the state of the economy is skyrocketing at a high rate and Kenyans should raise their voices or perish.
He spoke on Friday during an Azimio Kiambu County tour through Ruaka – Kiambu- Kirigiti – Ruai – Githurai.
Kalonzo maintained that the protests will be peaceful and urged Kenyans to join them.
