Azimio leader Raila Odinga says he is open to lead mass protests against the rising cost of living, urging his supporters to be on standby

Raila yesterday likened the economic situation to overburdened donkey. "We have seen (President William) Ruto overtaxing Kenyans and forcing punitive taxes down their throats. We want to tell him that Kenyans are no longer tired, but they are down and unable to sustain the high cost of living, and it is on that note we will instruct Kenyans on what to do come next year," he said.
