The Cabinet Secretary for Roads, Kipchumba Murkomen, asserted that the Political Parties Fund designated for the Azimio coalition should be withheld and transferred to his ministry to rebuild the infrastructure destroyed during the protests.


Kipchumba Murkomen criticized Azimio once more for the anti-government Maandamano weekly protests.


The country's economy is being impacted by the protests, according to Murkomen, who said that some investors are delaying money because of the uncertainty the protests have produced during a thanksgiving service held on Saturday in Kakamega.

The CS said leaders should not be irresponsible, whether in opposition or on the government side.




Former prime minister Raila Odinga temporarily called off the Azimio Oka weekly protests. This came shortly after president William Ruto addressed the media.


Raila Odinga held a press address at his Capitol Hill office in Nairobi. Odinga said the opposition is ready for talks with the government.


Simultaneously, Odinga declared that the Azimio camp was ready to resume protests if "no meaningful outcome" was achieved in a week's time. He asserted that they have the rights to assemble as per the Kenyan constitution.


Among the problems the Azimio camp wants to be handled are electoral justice, high living costs, attacks on the media, attacks on democracy, and alleged 'buying' of MPs.
