Below are other quotes from the event.
Empty promises
We reject the empty promises made and being made by the UDA regime, instead, we call on Kenyans to reject the punitive UDA policies that are making life unbearable, said the Azimio chief.
“In particular, we call on Kenyans to resist and demand the removal of the punitive taxes that have led to punitive costs of basic products and services including unga, milk, sugar, school books, fuel, electricity, bus fare, paraffin and school fees.”
“From today, we call on every Kenyan buying electricity tokens to take a very close look at the statement and see how much of your money actually goes into tokens, how much goes to taxes and how long are we going to live like this.”
IEBC
“First, we as Azimio reject the 2022 election results. We cannot and will not recognise the Kenya Kwanza regime and we equally don’t recognise any officials in office with him,” Mr Odinga said.
” We demand that any attempts to reconstitute the IEBC single-handedly by Mr Ruto cease forthwith so that Kenyans themselves can reconstitute the body after full and fair deliberations,” Raila Odinga.
