Raila rallies supporters in Nairobi CBD to turn out in numbers for signature collection to have the government reduce the cost of living.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga has called on Kenyans to come out in large numbers in a bid to support his signature collection drive.
While addressing supporters at the Nairobi CBD on Monday, July 10, 2023, the Azimio leader said the excercise will help prove that he is not alone in the push to have government reduce the cost of living.
“We will collect 15 million signatures to show that we lack faith in President William Ruto’s government. The signatures will show that I am not alone and that I have Kenyans behind me. Everybody should sign,”
“We are not criminals, we just don’t want to quarrel. Kenyans should understand that whatever we decide to do has a reason. The cost of living is high,” he added.

Raila also castigated Ruto’s government for not fulfilling their campaign pledges to lower the cost of living.
Azimio’s leadership seeks to collect 10 million signatures which Raila said is to show dissatisfaction with the administration of Ruto.
While addressing a Saba Saba rally at Kamukunji grounds in Nairobi on Friday, July 7, 2023, stated that they had resorted to the drive due to the government’s failure to address their grievances such as high cost of living, ‘punitive taxes’ and biased recruitment of electoral commissioners.
“The people have started the process of taking back the power given to people to represent them. We have to know how many we are and that is why we have started collecting signatures,” he said on Friday at the Kamukunji grounds.
