The Azimio One Kenya coalition has announced more consultative forums aimed at pushing for the resignation of the Kenya Kwanza regime.
According to the opposition, the next stop for the “public consultative meetings” will be held at the Kamukunji grounds in Kibra on Sunday before proceeding to Mavoko in Machakos next week.
National Assembly Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi said the forum will be used to deliberate on how to push on President William Ruto’s administration to address challenges facing Kenyans currently.
“We wish to inform our supporters, the general public and all Kenyans who feel for our country that our People’s Baraza are set to continue this week and the weeks that follow. On Sunday, February 5, 2023, we will hold a Baraza at the Kamukunji grounds in Kibra Constituency. This will be followed by another Baraza on Friday February 10, 2023, this time in Mavoko, Machakos County,” Wandayi said.
“We appeal to the public to attend these barazas and deliberate on the critical challenges facing our country. The cost of living is up and still rising but the government is doing nothing about it.”
During the Sunday rally held at the Kamukunji grounds, opposition leader Raila Odinga pushed for President William Ruto’s resignation insisting that he won the August 9,2022 elections despite a ruling by the Supreme Court that laid the matter to rest when it dismissed his challenge against Ruto’s victory.
“We demand that the Kenya Kwanza government resigns immediately. There can be no peace without electoral justice. The election outcome must be respected and that’s why we are saying Ruto must go,” he said.
Azimio also wants to use the meetings to push the government to engage them on how best to constitute the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
