Lawyer Miguna Miguna has weighed in on the Azimio la Umoja’s announcement on holding anti-government protests three days in a week.
In a statement via Twitter on Friday, July 14, Miguna said that Azimio Leader Raila Odinga is not interested in the well-being of Kenyans.
He questioned how Kenyans who have been affected by the protests will earn a living during the three days.
“This is now sickness. Clearly, Raila Odinga is not interested in the well-being of Kenyans. Where does he expect those affected by his chaos to earn a livelihood from if protests will disrupt business, transport and other aspects of life from Wednesday to Friday each week?” he posed.

Azimio announced on Friday that the decision to hold the three-day demos was made after Kenyans from many sectors across the country requested the coalition’s leadership to consider it.
“Going forward, the peaceful protests will now be held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next week, in line with requests from the public to include three days of activity,” Azimio announced.
President William Ruto has however said that no protests will take place in the country next week.
“There will be no more demonstrations in this country. I want to tell Raila Odinga, mimi niko na wewe macho kwa macho, tutakutana," President Ruto declared.
He added, “You cannot use extrajudicial and extraconstitutional means to look for power in Kenya. There is a constitution, the people of Kenya went to an election and they elected a government. If you want power, wait for 2027 and I will beat you again.”
