Majority Leader of the Senate Aaron Cheruiyot has now warned the Azimio la Umoja faction led by Raila Odinga that they cannot have both bipartisan talks and still hold protests at the same time.
In a statement via Twitter on Friday, April 14, Senator Cheruiyot maintained that Azimio needs to believe in something adding that there is no chance of double betting.
"It is bipartisan talks or the streets, you cannot have it both ways. No double chance betting. You must at least believe in something. In peace talks, guns are normally silenced first," he stated.
This comes hours after Odinga announced that the anti-government demonstrations would resume after the end of Ramadhan.

The former Prime Minister stated that the demos would go on simultaneously with bi-partisan negotiations.
“Sasa tumekubali mazungumzo iendelee na maandamano sambamba. Dawa ya moto ni moto, tunangoja Ramadhan iishe alafu tuta tangaza,” he said.
Odinga called off the demonstrations on Sunday, April 2 to allow the bi-partisan talks between the opposition and the government to take place.
He however threatened to go back to the protests if the negotiations fail to meet his demands.
