Opposition Leader, Odinga Gives Reasons For Not Protesting
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Kenya’s main opposition leader, Raila Odinga, has revealed that a bad case of flu had kept him from taking part in the three-day street protests that he had organised, in an attempt to force the government to reduce the cost of living and tax hikes.

In Odinga’s words:

“It is not mandatory for opposition leaders to be seen on the streets.”

Ralia Odinga had made this statement during a programme that aired in a Kenyan TV station.

Note that the protests are scheduled to end today, Friday, July 21.

The old-hand politician, who lost the controversial presidential elections last year, had commented that the “game-changing” protests belonged to the people and were not his (ideas) alone.

Odinga had also denied the allegations that his absence from the demonstrations was a ruse to sign a deal with President William Ruto. He had added that he was not looking to be a part of the country’s administration.

President Ruto had himself, declared that he would not entertain discussions with Odinga to resolve the current deadlock.

Ruto had praises the efforts of the police to quell the protests in the country, stating that the demonstrations were a threat to the national security.

This sentiment is not shared by everyone as several political pundits had lambasted the security forces who attacked the protestors, an action that led to several deaths.

Interestingly, less people have been taking part in this week’s anti-government protests, as compared to the earlier demonstrations.

It was observed that a lot of individuals had stayed home on Wednesday and Thursday, in fear of violence but as at the time of filing this report, things are gradually returning to normal in the nation, with schools and businesses reopening.

Notable bus stations in Nairobi and in other cities have slowly resumed operations.
