Good morning,
The Azimio camp has continued with a series of onslaughts against the Ruto government, terming it illegitimate.
The opposition, led by ODM leader Raila Odinga, converged at Kibra for a Sunday rally where he tabled why Ruto should vacate the State House.
“Our stand remains that Ruto did not win the elections. He got into the State House by hijacking and subverting the will of the people. He must get out,” Azimio’s chief said.
Hi allies at the rally also attacked Ruto for going after previous governments over tax exemptions. The Azimio camp said that the targets are politically motivated.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka castigated the President for going after Kenyatta and Moi families maintaining that he should respect the ‘dead’.
“Hii ni kodi ya kifo. Yaani unataka kutoa ushuru watu wamekufa?” he asked.
Former Defence CS Eugene Wamalwa was also not left out, he asked President Ruto to focus on making food affordable instead of fighting Mama Ngina.
