Raila launches public website, Tumechoka Citizens for signature collection to discredit Ruto administration.
In an effort to discredit President William Ruto’s administration, Raila Odinga, the leader of the Azimio la Umoja party, began the Tumechoka Citizens signature collecting initiative on Tuesday, July 11.
Speaking at the Stephen Kalonzo Center in Nairobi, Raila asked all Kenyans to join the petition in opposition to Ruto and his running mate, Rigathi Gachagua.
The Azimio leader explained that Ruto had turned against the will of Kenyans and assumed the grievances raised over the Finance Act 2023.
“Having read and understood the intention of the promoters of this initiative, I hereby Support the Citizens’ initiative to remove from office Mr. William Ruto as President and Mr. Rigathi Gachagua as Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya,” the website tumechoka.com pleads.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party Leader claimed it was the responsibility of the people to protect their future, and not allow themselves to be subjected to unnecessary tax burdens.
“We are tired of the high cost of living, the high taxes, and the corruption that is rampant in this government.
“We are tired of being lied to and taken for granted. We are tired of being ruled by a government that does not care about the people,” Raila claimed.

Leaders attending the launch and signing of the petitions include Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Narc Kenya boss Martha Karua, DAP- K boss Eugene Wamalwa and former Murang’a governor Mwangi Wa Iria.
The event at the Kalonzo Musyoka Command Center is also attended by former Kakamega governor Wickliffe Oparanya and ousted Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni, ex-Laikipia governor Nderitu Muriithi and Nation Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi.
The signature collection initiative is the latest in a series of protests and demonstrations that have been organised by the opposition in recent months.
The opposition had been critical of the government’s handling of the economy, the rising cost of living, and the recent increase in taxes.
