The Azimio coalition, led by Opposition leader Raila Odinga, announced during a public protest at Nairobi's Kamukunji Grounds that they would not engage in the talks following the contentious Finance Bill 2023 passing.
On Sunday, at the homecoming ceremony for the newly elected head of the Luo Council of Elders in Kisumu, Odinga urged Kenyans to turn out in huge numbers on Friday to protest what he called the executive's seizure of parliament.
According to Azimio authorities, the Finance Act of 2023 is repressive and will only damage Kenyans by boosting the cost of living.
He stated that all members of parliament who voted in favour of the law had been compromised; they no longer listened to what the mwananchi had to say; instead, they were dancing to the tune of President Ruto. Kenyans are being forced to pay these levies by the government.
Nyando legislator Jared Okello, for his part, chastised Kenya Kwanza leaders for criticizing the courts in response to Friday's court judgment prohibiting implementing the new finance law.
