Wilson Sossion, a former secretary general of the Kenya National Union of Teachers, has demanded that all of the rallies scheduled for Wednesday be made illegal.
Sossion claimed during a K24 interview on Tuesday that the protests are not benefiting the nation in any way.
"All of these protests should be made illegal starting on Wednesday because they don't benefit the nation. Those are criminal actions, not demonstrations, he stated.
According to Sossion, many Kenyans lost their lives and suffered damages due to property destruction during the protests.
Then, according to him, the government should see to the protection of people's lives and property.

One life lost is too many, and someone needs to take responsibility. The government should ensure that people's lives are safeguarded, their property is looked for, and the nation is secure, according to Sossion.
He stated that while the opposition has the right to protest, it must not harm innocent Kenyans.
On Monday, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki acknowledged that six people had died due to the Saba Saba rallies that Azimio leader Raila Odinga had called.
The constitution permits demonstrations but forbids carrying crude weapons, hurting others, blocking highways with stones, or igniting tires to halt transportation, according to Kindiki.
He urged an end to such drastic actions and dared the opposition to hold another protest on Wednesday.
However, they stated that they wouldn't stop until they were heard in a press conference that Raila Odinga, the head of the ODM, attended: Opiyo Wandayi, the minority leader in the National Assembly.
He added that the entire nation will come to a standstill on Wednesday when Kenyans from all walks of life participate in widespread demonstrations. "We have simply informed you (police) of this," he said.
