Thursday, February 23, 2023 -President William Ruto has responded to Raila Odinga’s calls for mass action starting in two weeks time.
Speaking during the launch of the Nairobi River Commission NRC at Korogocho, Nairobi County, President Ruto warned Raila that causing violence will not be tolerated by his government.
The head of State, in a strongly-worded statement, maintained that his administration will counter, with equal force, Odinga’s lawlessness.
Ruto added that threatening him with demonstrations will not make him succumb to opposition’s roadside demands.
“You will demonstrate until you get tired of it.
“We are all equal before the law, and any attempt to cause chaos will be dealt with accordingly. Nobody, nobody, let me repeat, nobody will be allowed to intimate others in this country,” Ruto further warned.
Yesterday Wednesday February 22, the opposition leader issued an ultimatum to the Kenya Kwanza government to work on lowering the cost of living or face consequences.
Speaking at their first public prayer meeting held at Jevanjee Gardens on Wednesday February 22, Raila argued that Kenyans had waited for far too long for the president to deliver and, therefore, his time was up.
