Raila Odinga Accuses William Ruto of Dictatorship
Raila Odinga, the leader of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Alliance, has accused President William Ruto of becoming a dictator.
“It has become clear that we are dealing with a dictator,” Odinga said. “Ruto has become a heartless tyrant and we are determined to have this situation corrected.”
Odinga also confirmed that the Kamukunji meeting, which is scheduled to take place in Nairobi this Friday, is still on. He said that similar gatherings will be held all over the country to kick off the “third liberation.”
“We are here to announce that Our Kamukunji meeting is on in Nairobi this Friday as we had announced,” Odinga said. “It is not just Kamukunji in Nairobi but a Kamukunji across the country where this third liberation will be launched.”
Odinga said that the meetings will also be used to collect signatures to show opposition to Ruto’s policies.
“That day, July 7, 2023, among other activities, we will launch a signature collection to signify our rejection of the illegitimate Kenya Kwanza regime and their policies, especially the punitive taxes,” Odinga said.
Odinga said that the cost of food, transportation, and fuel has all increased, and that people can no longer suffer in silence.
“We are not going to sit back and watch as Ruto and his allies impoverish our people,” Odinga said. “We are going to fight back and we are going to win.”
