Raila Odinga faults William Ruto’s policies as he calls Kenyans to join protests on the ‘Saba Saba’ day.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga has declared that the opposition is ready to use street protests to find a solution to the problems plaguing the nation.
According to Raila, the Kwanza government in Kenya is rife with corruption and the misuse of public funds, and Azimio will not let up on their pursuit of justice for Kenyans.
Speaking at a political rally in Ugunja, yesterday, Raila asserted that President William Ruto’s administration is flawed beyond redemption.
As such, he urged the residents to join in the planned protests come ‘Saba Saba’ as the sovereign power belongs to the people.
“This government of (president) Ruto is filthy and has abandoned the plight of hustlers with whom he had promised to help (during the campaigns),” Raila claimed.
Raila criticised President Ruto’s leadership style saying he will not allow the country to slide back to the era of dictatorship.
He faulted the Kenya Kwanza government over taxation, the struggling economy, and corruption.

Raila warned that the planned mass protests will go on until the concerns of Kenyans are addressed.
“I want all of you to come out in huge numbers for demonstrations. We are not doing this because we don’t want development. We are saying Kenyans are tired,” he said.
He said the opposition will not be bullied into silence and accused the Kenya Kwanza government of implementing policies aimed at benefiting the leaders at the expense of citizens.
“Kenyans have spoken in the polls that they are not ready for taxes increment. They have said they have the power according to the Constitution through demonstrations,” he said.
Siaya Governor, James Orengo averred that, starting with the planned ‘Saba Saba’ rally, the opposition will neither retreat nor relent in its quest for better management of the country, Kenya.
