Azimo la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has defied theNairobi Regional Commander Adamson Bungei’s directive’s to Azimio la Umoja not to take the protests to the Central Business District (CBD).
Raila who was flanked by other leaders, ordered his followers to match to Central Park next to Uhuru Park.
Just to draw a picture, the historical Kamukunji grounds where Raila gathered his supporters is in Eastlands and Central Park is in the West side of the town.
“We are heading to Central Park through Nairobi’s CBD where we are going to converge for other meetings,” Raila announced.
However, he asked his supporters to remain peaceful and avoid attacking law enforcement officers or breaking into businesses.
“We gather here peacefully in order to have a conversation. We will not engage in criminal activities that lead to the destruction of property,” Raila stated.
Raila addresses his supporters from Kamukunji Grounds in Nairobi, claiming that President William Ruto had ignored the pleas from Kenyans, claiming that Kenya Kwanza was not serious about the bipartisan talks. Consequently, he asked his team to suspend the meeting indefinitely.
“Time for talks is over. We will now rely on the Constitution to decide our future,” Raila tells Azimio la Umoja supporters in Nairobi.
