Wandayi tells Kenya Kwanza to prepare for ‘unstoppable mass action’

Wandayi, who was speaking in Nyatike Sub County during the ODM party delegate meeting on Monday, said the Azimio team will embark on a serious mass action that might not stop in due course.

He said they cannot sit back and see Kenyans suffering because of the high taxation imposed by the government. 

He said the people of Kenya are going to resist the government move to impose more taxes on them.

“We want to embark on a new journey at Kamukunji… a lot has been said, but where we have reached now, we must seek direction from the people. The journey that is beginning at Kamukunji may be unstoppable. Depending on what the people will tell us, it will change the politics of this country,” said the minority leader. 

His remarks were echoed by ODM party chairman John Mbadi who said that over taxation of the citizens will not help the Kenya Kwanza government to raise money to develop the country.

“This Kenya Kwanza government is taking the salaries of civil servants, we are headed to dangerous grounds, there is no economy which can grow by overtaxing its citizens,” Mbadi said. 

The two called on the ODM party leaders from the grassroots level to keep the party strong to ensure it remains the strongest party in the country.

The Azimio la Umoja coalition will today hold a public Baraza at Kamukunji grounds. The meeting is in protest of the recently passed Finance Bill 2023, which was signed into law by President Ruto on Monday.
