In response to growing public demands for change, the peaceful protests organized by the Azimio party will now be extended to three consecutive days next week. Azimio party announced earlier today. The move aims to escalate pressure on the government to address two key concerns: the rising cost of living and the recently passed 16% fuel tax.
“Going forward, the peaceful protests will now be held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next week, in line with requests from the public to include three days of activity,” stated Azimio. This decision comes as a direct response to the overwhelming demand from citizens who have expressed their frustration with the current economic situation.
The demonstrations, which began as a singular event, have gained momentum over the past few weeks, drawing significant public support. Citizens from all walks of life have united under the Azimio party’s call for economic reform and the reduction of the fuel tax. The cost of living has become an increasing burden for many, impacting their ability to afford basic necessities.
The 16% fuel tax, which was passed by Parliament in June 2023, has contributed to the rising cost of living. It has sparked outrage among citizens, who argue that such a measure places an unfair burden on the already strained households. The Raila Odinga lead Azimio party has made it their mission to address this issue and ensure the government takes appropriate action to alleviate the financial burden faced by the public.
The extended duration of the protests aims to exert additional pressure on the government, emphasizing the urgency of the situation. Raila Odinga and the Azimio party are calling for a reduction in the cost of living and the immediate reversal of the fuel tax, as they believe these steps are crucial for the well-being and prosperity of the nation.
