Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has claimed that the Azimio anti-government demonstrations would take two weeks before coming to an end.
Ledama in an update via Twitter asked Kenyans to prepare for daily protests, which are aimed at pressuring the government to lower the cost of living and halting the IEBC recruitment process.
“Prepare for 14 days daily demonstration in Nairobi, Kenya until the server is opened, cost of living goes down and IEBC recruitment cancelled,” said Ledama.
Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga on Saturday during a joint interview with journalists stated that the demonstrations would continue even after the March 20 demonstrations.
“Sisi tunataka ulimwengu ijue kuna shida Kenya, na hii maneno haitasiha hadi suluhisho ipatikane, tutaendelea baada ya jumatatu,” he stated.
