While addressing a group in Kakamega's Iguyio village Ikolomani constituency, he warned the protesters that the government will not sit back and watch as they participate in actions that will harm the country's normalcy.

He deemed it necessary for the Azimio leadership to comprehend and accept the truth that retiring President Uhuru Kenyatta delegated power to President Ruto.

Mudavadi's remarks come a day after Azimio's Saba Saba proclamation. The Prime Cabinet Secretary also challenged Azimio to explain to Kenyans what parameters they are basing their protests on, claiming Azimio is interested in spreading mayhem and disrupting the Kenya Kwanza's strategy to restore the country's economy.

He urged them to band together, share a similar objective and aim of unifying the people of the Western area, and work toward economic and political empowerment.
