Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has issued the government a 30 days untimatum or return countrywide protests.
Speaking from Gem, Siaya County, the Azimio la Umoja party leader noted that he has given Kenya Kwanza government up to September to hold concrete talks with its members or else he will issue the next course of action.
“Nimesema sisi kama wana-Azimio, tuko tayari kuongea, tutaongea na tunapatia wale jamaa siku thelathini kuongea. Baada ya siku thelathini kama jamaa bado amekaa ngumu ntatoa amri ingine. Lakini tumepea tume ambayo inaongezwa na Kalonzo Musyoka nafasi ya kuongea na wale kutoka ile ng’ambo ingine,” said Raila
