Azimio to hold Parliamentary Group meeting

He said the Azimio leadership will also take stock of the coalition party's performance in Parliament and look into ways of strengthening it further and keeping at bay Kenya Kwanza from raiding its members.

In attendance were National Assembly Minority Whip Junet Mohammed, Narok Senator Ledama ole Kina, Ruaraka MP Tom Kajwang, Pokot South MP David Pkosing, Saboti MP Caleb Amisi and Prof Makau Mutua who was Raila's Presidential Campaign Secretariat Spokesman.

The Parliamentary Group meeting comes after the Azimio leadership met governors in Naivasha last week in a bid to keep their foot soldiers intact as it prepares to take on the government.

Last week Raila said he will not allow President William Ruto to take the country back to the dark days and vowed to push back what he described as a path of impunity and revenge by the government.

"Since the conclusion of the 2022 election circle we have done our best to give Ruto time and space to heal and unite our land, we have given so much space that Kenyans are thinking we have given up the fight, unfortunately, Ruto seems to think we have surrendered," said Raila.

Raila said Kenyans have witnessed a swift, steady and dangerous re-emergence of the capture of state institutions by the Executive with the Judiciary being the first one to willingly give, with a struggle currently being witnessed in the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.

He regretted that although the country was facing monumental challenges caused by drought and hunger, the government was keen to add more pain to citizens by introducing unpopular policies.

The Azimio leader said the injustice being inflicted on IEBC commissioners Juliana Cherera, Irene Masit, Francis Wanderi and Justus Nyang'aya, if allowed to proceed, will mark the beginning of massive pushback against Ruto and those who think like him by the people of Kenya.
