The former Prime Minister who was answering to queries over his absence from the public urged Kenyans to turn up in large numbers on Friday saying that the demonstrations are on high cost of living affecting all Kenyans.
“Everything is okay. These protests are not for Raila, Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua or Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka. This is for all Kenyans. They do not have to be present for the demonstrations to go on,” he said.
He continued by rubbishing rumours that the former President Uhuru Kenyatta was funding his demonstrations saying that those are lies from President William Ruto meant to catch the emotions of Kenyans.
