Azimio La Umoja leader Raila Odinga says the country will witness massive protests in the next three days.
This is despite the government's warning that the three-day will not be allowed to take place.
"Starting on Wednesday, be ready for the game-changing Maandamano," Raila Odinga said on Monday.
The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya alliance earlier on Monday confirmed its plan to organize anti-government protests from Wednesday to Friday, despite the government's severe warnings.

Opiyo Wandayi, National Assembly Minority Leader, said on Monday at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation (JOOF) that they will not back down from exercising their constitutional duty of peaceful protests.
The Ugunja MP said that no authority, including President William Ruto, could prevent them from organizing the planned protests.
"As previously declared by our leaders, the peaceful protests scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week will occur." These protests will continue under Article 37 of our Constitution, which guarantees the freedom of peaceful assembly and picketing, and no authority has the authority to suspend the operation of Article 37, not William Ruto, Kithure Kindiki, or Rigathi Gachagua," he said.
"Anyone claiming to be able to stop demonstrations is delusory because they lack power."
He stated that the ongoing signature-gathering effort to depose President Ruto will occur alongside the protests.
The former prime minister has insisted that the azimio demonstrations will happen despite president ruto maintaining that no protests will be allowed in the country. He said he would not allow the ODM leader to continue using kenyans as pawns to pursue power.
The state president chastised Raila for using illegitimate means to obtain power and pledged that this would not happen again. Raila and Ruto have already stated that they will never shake hands.
"I want to reassure you that I will follow you down that path and I won't let it happen," he said
