Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja says that the azimio la Umoja coalition led by raila odinga has no reason for mass protest or action.
Speaking during an interview with NTV on Monday, the governor said that kenya is a democratic country and that the opposition should table the issues they have with the kenya kwanza administration instead of holding rallies nationwide.
“They should not be doing it. The things they are complaining about can be solved in Parliament.” the governor told NTV. On Thursday, the former prime minister declared the start of mass action after the 14-day ultimatum he had given to the kenya kwanza regime expired. The azimio la Umoja coalition leader had asked the government to lower the cost of living for kenyans.
The nairobi governor says that the cost of living continues declining and that the opposition should give the government time.

“Demonstrations will only destabilise the economy more, yet it has stabilised. It will not benefit those they are trying to help,” he said.
“Peaceful demonstrations are legal and anybody can hold them, but the cost and what might arise from it is not good for us. We are a mature democracy that can hold dialogues, discuss, go to Parliament and discuss,” he added.
The former prime minister has asked his supporters to join them in their quest to fight for the rights of kenyans and has continued to maintain that the kenya kwanza regime is illegitimate.
“We can’t keep living on false promises and that when we keep taking painkillers long enough, you will cease killing the pain...Kenya is ripe for the people’s Movement for the Defence of Democracy. The process begins today, here and now, Ruto must go!,” he said.
Odinga insists that the kenya kwanza regime is in power illegally and should resign immediately. Raila insists that he won the elections by over 2 million votes, but the IEBC colluded with e current government to steal the votes
