Raila Odinga, leader of the Azimio la Umoja coalition, has intensified his criticism of President William Ruto's administration following yesterday's protests marred by destruction of property and robbery incidents.
In a press conference held today, Raila Odinga called on the government to promptly launch an investigation into the disturbances that occurred on Tuesday, July 2.
The former Prime Minister accused President Ruto's administration of displaying reluctance in addressing the individuals responsible for the violence during the protests.
Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga asserted that the government possesses adequate information regarding the sponsors behind the ongoing demonstrations but has failed to take decisive action against them.
During the press briefing, Odinga outlined two non-negotiable demands directed at President Ruto.
First, he urged for an immediate commencement of a thorough probe into the destruction of property and acts of robbery witnessed during the protests.
Second, Odinga emphasized the necessity for the government to take decisive action against those identified as instigators of the violence.
Raila Odinga's address signaled an important change in his stance towards President Ruto's administration, showing rising anxieties between the Azimio la Umoja coalition and the ruling party, UDA.
Raila Odinga's call for accountability and swift action brought out concerns over public safety and the need for responsible governance amid rising socio-political tensions.
