The Azimio coalition is targeting to collect 15 million signatures to push to remove the Kenya Kwanza government from power.
“We will now collect fifteen million signatures as a sign of no confidence in the illegitimate administration of Ruto and Gachagua),” Raila announced on July 10.
Azimio on Saturday while addressing the media at the Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka command center in Karen mentioned that their signature collection has been attacked a number of times and they have reported to the relevant authorities.
“We have reported attacks on our website and we are ahead of them. We are well mitigated because we are the legitimate government so to speak. We can't fail to deal with them, they keep attacking but they cannot penetrate us,” former Murang’a Governor Mwangi Wa Iria stated.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna on June 17 confirmed that they faced more than 1,000 attacks on the signature collection website.
