Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot has weighed in on Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga's mass action threat.
In a statement via Twitter on Wednesday, February 22, Senator Cheruiyot advised President Ruto to ignore the threats and focus on building the economy.
“After eating Kenya to the ground under the evil handshake regime, Tinga wants to force another munching round by use of threats to violence. There are no more cowards in town. I urge the President to focus on repairing the economy badly ravaged by the handshake looting spree,” Cheruiyot stated.
The former Prime Minister earlier issued six demands to President Ruto and threatened to lead the country into mass action if the demands are not met within fourteen days.

TOdinga, who was speaking at Jeevanjee gardens in Nairobi, demanded the Ruto government restore food subsidies to cushion Kenyans from the high cost of living.
“We have been talking about the rise cost of basic commodities like unga, electricity, diesel, petrol sugar, milk among others for far too long. We have complained about raising taxes and we have lately talked about children dropping out of school for lack of fees. Withdrawal of subsidies on food and education in a middle of a drought and famine was a reckless move.
“Subsidies must be restored, and the price of basic commodities and taxes must come down in the next 14 days," Raila stated.
