“Going forward, the peaceful protests will now be held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next week, in line with requests from the public to include three days of activity.”
President William Ruto has however warned the opposition over the protests saying the government will not allow demos to happen again in the country.
Ruto while speaking in Nakuru County on Friday dared the Azimio coalition to stage demos next week.
“There will be no more demonstrations in this country. I want to tell Raila Odinga, mimi niko na wewe macho kwa macho, tutakutana,” President Ruto declared.
The Head of State vowed to deal with Raila head-on if he continues with the protests. He asked Raila to wait until 2027 to try his luck at the presidency.
“I want to tell him that if it’s protesting, we will meet because you cannot use extrajudicial and extraconstitutional means to look for power in Kenya. There is a constitution, the people of Kenya went to an election and they elected a government. If you want power, wait for 2027 and I will beat you again,” Ruto added.
