“The Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation (JOOF), the venue of yesterday’s meeting, has successfully hosted important events at more defining moments in the country, without any such ugly incidents,” Rail said.

The scheduled Azimio post-Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting address in Nairobi turned rowdy on Wednesday, with Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka's speech cut short and participants forcibly removed from the grounds.

The men then turned their attention to the journalists covering the briefing, forcing them out of the premises.

Azimio halted the address but later issued a statement detailing resolutions from the PG meeting. The most important of these was that the coalition would not be part of President William Ruto's planned broad-based administration in the aftermath of the statewide demonstrations.

Azimio also asked for the quick arrest of rogue police officers involved in the maiming, killing, and abduction of nonviolent Kenyan demonstrators from the start of the Finance Bill demonstrations on June 18, 2024.
