Raila Odinga has cancelled his much anticipated Kamukunji rally this afternoon saying his Azimio Coalition had intel the police planned to use live bullets on the rally attendees.
Mr. Odinga added that goons were also sponsored to vandalise property in different parts of Nairobi and across the country to pin the blame on the opposition.
“We have witnessed savage attacks on our supporters by police officers who discriminately shot, injured and killed a number of people across the country, including here in Nairobi,” Raila stated.
However, the nationwide protests, Raila noted, will continue until President William Ruto repeals sections of the Finance Act 2023.
“Where we have reached, it’s only good to note that there is no going back. We will continue to exercise our constitutional rights until when our demands shall have been met,” he added.
He accused President William Ruto of staging a tactical elimination method against protesters who he lauded for standing up for their rights.
