CURRENT SITUATION IN KAMKUNJI

It is all system-go as Azimio is set to hold their consultative meeting at Kamukunji.

ODM party spokesperson Philip Etale has confirmed Azimio People’s Baraza is on and will begin at 1 pm.

In a statement on his Twitter account, Etale urged Kenyans to come out in large numbers.

“The People’s baraza at the historic Kamukunji grounds will begin at exactly 1:00 o’clock. Be there,” he said.

This comes after police gave the green lightfor Azimio to hold their consultative meeting in Nairobi.

Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei said the police made arrangements to ensure the meeting is peaceful and successful.

The planned rally will be attended by top Azimio leaders and their supporters over Finance Act, 2023.

Azimio leader Raila Odinga is expected to return to the country on Tuesday morning after a long break in Poland.

Some of the supporters said they will welcome him at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport ahead of the people’s Baraza at the Kamukunji Grounds.

The planned consultative rally could mark the resumption of street protests following the passage of ‘punitive tax’ measures that will add to the already high cost of living.
