Raila gives Ruto 14 days to address Azimio’s demands failure to which he’ll organize nationwide mass action.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga has announced that he will lead mass action in 14 days if their demands including lowering the cost of living are not met by President William Ruto’s govt.
Speaking at Jeevanjee Gardens, Nairobi County, Raila noted that food subsidies must be restored to cushion Kenyans from the high cost of living.
Raila pointed out that taxes subjected to Kenyans must come down within 14 days.
He says the withdrawal of subsidies to food and education in the middle of drought and famine was reckless and heartless.
The ODM party leader noted that owing to the rising cases of learners dropping out of school, the government ought to subsidize fees to realize a 100 percent transition.
Raila also said the “electoral deceit must end” and that “servers must be opened and audited under the auspices of a reputable firm or organization failure to which we shall lead people to restore their authority and voice.”

He added: “The ongoing process of reconstituting IEBC must stop immediately. A bipartisan task force must be put in place to restructure IEBC in a manner that ends its monolithic operations.”
“If these demands are not heeded within fourteen days, we shall lead Kenyans to massive mass action across the country to take their power back and restore sanity,” he warned.
Raila also alleged a political witch-hunt against politicians allied with former president Uhuru Kenyatta, pointing out former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i and his lawyer, Danstan Omari.
“You see how they keep punishing Uhuru’s former Cabinet. Recently, we saw what happened to Matiang’i. Now they want to inflict harm on Danstan Omari as the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) wrote to him to investigate him. We want to tell them to leave Matiang’i and Omari alone,” he noted.
