Will Azimio agree with President Ruto?

President Ruto added that the constitution provides more constructive manners that can be used to settle issues that arise other than the use of confrontations that lead to the disruption of businesses.

I want to encourage our friends in the opposition to work with us in building the country. For any of the issues they have to raise, the constitution robustly provides for us to engage in a constructive manner without the necessity of violent confrontations and unnecessary disruptions of business. If you organise demonstrations and the businesses of Kenyans go up in flames, you have destroyed their lives. We should know what our actions amount to.”
The President Ruto remarked.

William Ruto’s remarks have come ahead of Raila Odinga’s home welcoming rally organized in Kibra on April 28, afternoon.

Speaking on the same note, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua spoke out to the opposition team insisting that they are not being genuine in their demands to the Kenya Kwanza government. Gachagua said that the opposition had been going to the streets for protests because of the high pricing of maize flour, an issue which has since been dealt with.

They said that they were protesting because of the price of unga. Now let them look for another reason to go to the streets. That reason does not exist. Those who know them, know that it was just an excuse.

The country is safe and secure. They are welcome to make noise and go home. Let them not destroy public and private property.
Gachagua came clear.

Azimio la Umoja team announced the resumption of weekly protests after bipartisan talks that had been scheduled to settle their issues with the ruling government collapsed.
