Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has advised Azimio leader Raila Odinga to take a break from politics.
Speaking while officially opening the Nakuru ASK show on Friday, July 14 Gachagua slammed the opposition leaders over the recent demonstrations that have seen some Kenyans lose their lives and properties destroyed.
The Deputy President affirmed that the Government would no longer allow Odinga to hold countrywide demos.
"At 80 years of age, what solution can Raila Odinga offer to the people of Kenya who have rejected him in five elections? Take a break, call yourself for a small meeting, and try to analyze why Kenyans have rejected you a record five times," Gachagua said.
He added, "As a government, we have said enough is enough, Raila Odinga will not be allowed to cause violence and destroy property."

The Deputy President issued a stern warning to those leading the demonstrations saying the government was willing to take on them and ensure there is no more damage to the economy and prevent harm on Kenyans.
Gachagau's warning comes barely hours after the Azimio coalition announced that they would hold three-day continuous protests from next week.
“Third Wave of peaceful protests scheduled to start on Wednesday next week, and following overwhelming requests from all sectors of the Kenyan Public for the need to intensify these demonstrations, the Coalition hereby wishes to announce a revision of the calendar.
“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 said in a statement.
