Raila Odinga returned to the country last week after a brief stint abroad. As expected, the Azimio leader came back breathing fire and announced resumption of street demonstrations that he suspended recently.

But while no one can begrudge Raila, the Azimio brigade and their supporters their constitutional right to hold demonstrations over the collapse of the planned bipartisan talks, the high cost of living and to demand the opening of the IEBC servers, we implore them not to do so.
