Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition party leader Raila Odinga has given a list of four demands that the Kenya Kwanza government must fulfil before any talks.

Addressing Azimio supporters in Kamkunji grounds, Raila accused the government of not being genuine in the talks. He accused the government of appointing an Azimio MP (Adan Keynan) to represent their side, which he termed mockery.

“We want talks, and we are ready, but come with a clean heart, not with disrespect. If you disrespect us, then you will also be disrespected,” Raid said.

In his first demand, Raila said that the government should bring down the cost of living, with a priority on unga prices, which he says should be Ksh100 for a 2kg packet.

He has also demanded a reduction of fuel prices, as well as the reduction of school fees.

Before any talks could take place, Raila has also demanded a forensic audit of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to determine the winner of the 2022 Presidential election.

Raila has also demanded that the Cherera four be reinstated- to their positions. The four led by former vice chair Juliana Cherera, former commissioners; Francis Wanderi, Justus Nyangaya and Irene Masit were pushed out after disagreeing with former IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati.

The opposition supremo has demanded a change in the law to make sure that the results declared at the county level are final.

In his final demand, Raila has demanded the protection of democracy by having elected MPs who have shifted party loyalty resign and seek fresh mandates through their new parties.

“We want to say no to party hopping. If you want to change the party resign and seek re-election in a by-election,” he said.

He said that the demands should be fulfilled within 30 days, a period which started counting last week.

“Our demonstrations will be peaceful. Our supporters have never attacked businesses. Violence is always started by the police,” he said.
