Raila Odinga asks Kenyans to prepare for new street protests against Ruto administration over the unpopular policies.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga has called on Kenyans to brace themselves for a fresh round of street protests in 2024 in response to the high cost of living.
Speaking at a church service at St Peters ACK in Nyamira, Bondo Raila said a more intense push against the unpopular policies of government will be witnessed after the festivities.
He urged Kenyans to “prepare for tough times” as he leads the push against the unpopular government policies next year.
“I do not want to speak further about it because I am in church and in the festive mood,” he said.
The Azimio leader criticised the tax hikes saying they have made life unbearable for most Kenyans.
“The government officials are worsening the cost of living because they have no idea on how to make it better,” he said.
“They are hoping that increasing taxes will solve the problem of liquidity…but you are taxing the same pool! You are taxing yourself (who is already poor. Imposing too much taxes on the people will lead to tax evasions, thus less collections.”

In addition, Raila urged Kenyans to embrace forgiveness and express love for neighbor, as was embedded in the teachings of Jesus.
“To get something better you need to sacrifice; you need to love your neighbor like yourself; forgive; and heal those who need to be healed,” he said.
In the spirit of giving, Raila later shared bread and some monetary donation at his father’s Kang’o Kajaramogi home.
“We wish our people all the best during this festive season,” he said.
He also notified the church congregants of the upcoming 30th death anniversary celebrations of his late father and the first Vice President of Kenya Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.
The celebrations will happen both at home in Bondo and in Kisumu.
