United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Cleophas Malalah has accused the Azimio la Umoja coalition of planning to cause chaos on Wednesday after calling off anti-government protests.
Speaking on Tuesday, July 25 at the UDA headquarters in Nairobi, Malalah alleged that the opposition is planning to cause chaos while holding vigil for protestors who died during the nationwide protests.
He urged the opposition leaders to instead visit the families of those who lost their lives at their homes or to hold a church service.
“If you want to mourn those who passed away, we have many ways to do it; you can go to church and pray for their families or visit their homes. To say that you want to light candles at night and hold a night vigil, you are planning to cause chaos. We are aware of your plan and the government will ensure the safety of all citizens is maintained,” Malalah pointed out.

Azimio noted that rather than holding peaceful protests, they would hold solidarity parades and vigils for victims of police brutality in various locations in all parts of the country.
"Azimio has made the decision that on Wednesday, rather than go to the streets for a peaceful demonstration as earlier announced, we will hold solidarity parades and vigils for victims of police brutality in various locations in all parts of the country.
"We are calling Kenyans to come out and light candles and lay flowers in remembrance of and respect for the victims," Azimio announced
