Lawyer Miguna Miguna now says that Kenyans are disappointed by the Kenya Kwanza administration’s slowness to address their concerns.
In a statement on Wednesday, July 12, Miguna said that the President William Ruto-led government has failed to communicate effectively to Kenyans about the initiatives it is taking to lower the cost of living.
"It’s true that Kenyans are disappointed by the slowness with which Kenya Kwanza administration is responding to their dire straits.
“It’s true that Kenya Kwanza has failed to communicate effectively on whatever programs and concrete initiatives they have put in place to alleviate the biting high cost of living,” Miguna stated.

The vocal lawyer at the same time accused Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga of taking advantage of the economic situation to cause havoc.
“Raila Odinga and his Azimio maniacs are taking advantage of the situation and causing havoc over problems they cause during the handshake,” he claimed.
He further asked Kenyans not to destroy property while protesting saying it is not a productive way to express anger.
“Fellow Kenyans, destroying the highways, roads and property you paid for with your taxes and whose repair and reconstruction you will pay for isn’t the most productive way to express your anger,” he added.
“You have a right to protest peacefully. Not to cause mayhem and havoc. Remember that tomorrow, it’s your taxes that will pay for what you have destroyed.”
His statement comes after anti-government protests were witnessed across the country including, Kisii, Nyamira, Nyeri, Mombasa, Kisumu, Migori, Machakos, and some parts of the Western region.
During the demos, the Nairobi Expressway barriers in Mlolongo were destroyed forcing Mojo Expressway, the company that is managing the expressway, to temporarily close the road.
The Azimio coalition also called off its protest rally at Kamukunji grounds, claiming that there was a plan by Kenya Kwanza to disrupt the rally using armed goons.
