Opposition leader Raila Odinga on Thursday, March 9, announced the start of mass action to force President Wiliam Ruto to comply with his demands.
Raila issued the directive after the 14-day ultimatum Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition leader issued to the President lapsed.
Among Raila's demands was Ruto to expedite the opening of the 2022 presidential election servers and address the high cost of living.
"We now declare the beginning of mass action, and announce that Ruto must go," Raila Odinga.
While launching the Movement for Defence of Democracy (MDD), Raila claimed that President William Ruto failed to heed his call to lower the price of basic commodities, open the IEBC servers and include the Azimio La Umoja in the recruitment process of IEBC commissioners.
"Wherever we are across the country, we shall all find ourselves in Nairobi for a peaceful protest and civil disobedience," Raila noted.
The Azimio La Umoja leader told those interested in the mass action to prepare and take action against the Kenya Kwanza government.
"On March 20, 2023, we have a date with destiny, and we call on you all to come to Nairobi where we will conduct a major procession," Raila declared.
Raila outlined his reasons for calling for mass action against Ruto's government:
1. The high cost of living in Kenya
He claimed that President Ruto's government oversaw what he termed as blatant looting of public resources and wrong withdrawal of subsidies that cushion Kenyans from high prices.
"To lower the cost of living and restore the destiny of our people Ruto must go," Raila declared.
2. Double Taxation
Raila noted that the Kenya Kwanza government was carrying out double taxation which was hurting many businesses including those that are owned by small-scale traders.
3. Importation of GMO
The Azimio La Umoja leader stated that President Ruto's decision to import Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) foods such as maize was to the detriment of Kenyan farmers and businesses.
4. Recruitment of IEBC commissioners
Raila stated that the Ruto administration should have halted the ongoing process of appointing new Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners.
"The IEBC Selection Panel is a puppet of Ruto, and we do not have any faith in whatever they are doing," Raila claimed.
5. The victimization of Cherera Four Commissioners
The ODM Party leader came to the defence of four commissioners of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), who controversially left office after the August 2022 General Election.
Dubbed the Cherera Four, vice-chairperson Juliana Cherera, Francis Mathenge, Irene Masit and Justus Nyang’aya, were forced to leave IEBC after President Ruto initiated their removal.
In a press briefing that was conducted at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation, the Azimio leaders claimed that the Kenya Kwanza government can no longer be tolerated.
"This illegitimate regime must go," Azimio Deputy Presidential Candidate in the August 2022 General Election, Martha Karua declared.
Karua added that the prices for all basic commodities must be lowered as earlier demanded by the Azimio La Umoja Coalition.

Wacha kiumane, it’s time to take our country back from the cartels masquerading as a cult. Raila is the Godfather of Kenyan politics, touch him and the country burns.

Okay - Ruto plus Gachagua - plus backing of US/UK/EU.
Plus combine GEMA/RV
Someone is enjoying Raila.
He will be put in jail
Luos will complain for a day.

Raila won in Nairobi.He won 27Counties in the presidential contest.ruto support is normally from kikuyu and kalenjin.The Kikuyus are tired of him.Raila has supported in over 80% Kenyan tribes.Who will defend Ruto?
No police can dare arrest baba.The Kenyan GOVERMENT has people from all tribes.unlike Moi,Ruto doesn't have monopoly of security forces which was a pure kalenjin affair.right now we have Luo Turkana Mijikenda etc.
Any attempt to touch Raila will see the disintegration of this country.
RUTO should embrace Raila with immeadiate effect.

Meanwhile my sons, daughters, nephews nieces have no jobs.
I wanna see them being independent before i die...

Take them abroad; if they cant start business.
There will be no jobs in kenya until sometimes;
Too many people; Too few investment;
Real economic take off is 5yrs away;
Then job situation will improve
South Africa a middle class country has 40 percent unemployment

Hizo ndume ni taka taka.
If Luos could overthrow them in 1982.
If kikuyu and Luos could make them change section 2A in 1990 and defeat them in 2002.
If Kibaki fucked them.in broad daylight 2007.
Nyinyi ni nani.
This is 2022.A world whereby nobody has monopoly of violence.A world where terrorists attacked Dusit and Westgate 3 kilometres from statehouse.Where bandits can fight KDF.
DON'T TRY VIOLENCE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE RAILA WANTS.
HE WILL PROVOKE YOU AND THE OVER 60% KENYA VOTE BLOCK HE CONTROLS WILL SAY NO.

Moi took power back in 6hours - and crushed balls for 24yrs.
And that was Moi without backing of US/UK/EU
Ruto remember is western darling.
Locally warriors are everyready kama paka power for violence;
Jaluos knows - for 500yrs they have shared with kalenjin - just the savagery kalenjin can unleash.
kikuyus didnt know - as they were newer in the region - now they now the Kalenjin savegry.
Trust me no Jaluo will go to war with Kalenjin nation - CANT WONT - when they try - by afternoon - Raila and Luo leaders will be kneeling down.
Raila has ZERO LEVERAGE.
At least in 1990s - Opposition had Western Backing.
IMF/WB/Donors squeezed Moi proper - and he had to make concession as the economy was tanking.
2007 - Kibaki was pinned to wall by Kalenjin nation.
Now what really can hurt Ruto - Kikuyus will not go to war when they have huge shareholding in gov - and Jaluos fear kalenjin.
HAKUNA kitu itaendelea.
Maybe global economic meltdown - weak economy - will give some leverage.

1) What is Ruto going to do?No right thinking police officer will dare cork his gun.Kindiki will resign before that.
2) Kambas will block vehicles on Mombasa road whileluos will block pale kisumu.In Nairobi nobody will turn up to work or business.
Then azimio swear in baba..people's president...then shall provoke Ruto by marching to state house and provoke police.
IWINJO?
There are no kalenjins in Nairobi.Kikuyu will go home to kiambu on 19th March and they will call a presser and say Kenya is bigger than anyone of us..Ruto will call baba and apologize.
When economy starts everybody even companies like Google banks telecoms where the west has greatly invested through shares and debt will tell GOK to compromise.
People's power.
The worst thing in today's world is being a president...you are like a rebel leader and if government tries shooting people it looses legitimacy.
On 20th,Baba will meet the police head on...if they attempt to tear gas or anyone lays hand on him.You will regret that day.
Once again BABA THE 5TH

Kalenjin warrior running at 20km per hour will be in Nairobi in less than 24hours to protect Ruto.
Kama polisi watashindwa na Azimio :)
Wacha na dreams.
Ruto will go on until 2032. Earliest.
Bomas was d-day - and Ruto won.
There absolutely no leverage Raila has locally and internationally.
Unless global economy really f up.

Kalenjin warrior will defend Ruto against who?Whom will they be fighting?

Because of sanctity of life,We let bomas go.
Now you will see the wild card.

Policies out the window.

Raila want Kenyans to Boycott Safaricom, Migori residents want him to call a boycott for eggs.

This is the REAL issue for kenya and all of sub-saharan africa. I am unhappy with all of the kalenjin appointments (I thought ruto would be more balanced) but the focus must be on the economy.
The funniest "revolutionary" is Makau Mutua who has lived in buffalo for over 30 years and now believes that at age 70, he can start a revolution? He should take his pension from Buffalo and move to florida and enjoy his retirement in miami with the sunshine (drink mojito's, stare at the beautiful latina ladies and play golf)

Start what business? We are all dealing with relatives that are just begging and depending on remittances from us. Also, these young kenyans are very corrupt. You'll send them money and they'll claim to start a business, but they're just using the cash to drink, womanize and party. I stopped sending them money. If you are young, find a way to Dubai (use the remittances to get a passport and a plane ticket, but most are too stupid to even think of that)
-
Never give out money for free unless it strictly small money kama 200 or 500.
Everyone is capable.
There are many succesfully people in kenya.
DO NOT GIVE OUT FREE MONEY. Unless it's your old parents. Even then just dont give them ovyo ovyo.
My grandmother at 90yrs was self sufficient - weaving her baskets, making calabashes and selling.

Yes. You just end up enabling them, but I don't like the begging culture that has taken foot in kenya and I'm noticing it more with YOUNG men than with women and they are shameless about the begging. Zero pride.
-
I give out sadaka - like tipping on hotels - but never serious money. If someone ask me for school fees - I will take them to my farms - and give them work to do for that amount.
If possible - give them work - even running errands for you - then pay them.
If someone want more money - I ask them to give me their land - either to buy or rent

Raila will get tired waiting for handshake very soon. Ruto told me months ago that he will crush monopoly in gas and milk industry slowly to a point that will make affected folk use Raila for another mandaamano. I think Raila is just the face, but real beneficiaries of this mandamano are vicious cartels getting squeezed by raft of policies Ruto is pushing slowly. Aaron Cheruiyot and Kimani Ichung'wah are tightening screws daily in both chambers after meetings with the boss. In 8 months, Kenyans will see cost of living drop like a fly, especially when USA is funding Kenya and vicious Chinese getting fumigated like fleas.
-
Besides the dynasties getting squeezed Raila grouse is iebc. He wants another four cherrors.He knows if Ruto pick all the 7 then 2027 is about done.Ruto will never negotiate on IEBC.Raila can't sustain 5yrs of protest.Once Ruto has picked 7 IEBCs..Raila will try silent handshake and retire. HE IS PUTTING LAST RESISTANCE. He knows Kalonzo can not win anything
