Raila Odinga, leader of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party, has brazenly stated that the azimio-led anti-government demonstrations will go as scheduled, despite the interior cs declaring them illegal.
The former prime minister has directed his followers to take to the streets twice weekly, Mondays and Thursdays, to protest the kenya kwanza government and the country's high cost of living.
Speaking to protestors in Imara Daima city estate on Thursday, the opposition leader emphasised that neither he nor his supporters will call off the demonstrations, even if it means clashing with the current government.
"Nipigwe teke, nitupiwe teargas, nitupiwe maji au nifungwe pingu, sitarudi nyuma. Nipelekwe jela na hata Ruto apinge sisi, hatutarudi nyuma," said Raila

Raila odinga added that he and his supporters are Kenyan citizens who will continue to protest until the State addresses the problems affecting ordinary mwananchi.
"Sisi si wendawazimu, na sisi si wajinga, ilhali sisi ni Wakenya wazalendo wanaotaka Kenya ikombolewe. Tunataka Kenya ibadilike na Wakenya wasidhulumiwe. Pia tunataka mabadiliko ya kikatiba na server ifunguliwe," said Raila.
As a result of today's police blockade of Jacaranda grounds, opposition leader Raila Odinga has called for the most significant protest ever to take place on Monday of the following week.
According to Odinga, if the Kenya Kwanza Alliance government does not heed their requests through negotiations, they will be forced to hold rallies all around the nation to further their cause.
"We are extremely rational people, and we think that we have very good reasons why we need to talk," Odinga added. "But if the other side is not willing to engage, these demonstrations will continue."
