Raila Odinga earlier threatened to lead countrywide mass action if the Kenya Kwanza government fails to restore food subsidies and lower taxes within 14 days. 

Lawyer Miguna Miguna has reacted to Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga’s countrywide mass action threat.

In an update via Twitter on Wednesday, February 22, Miguna said that the former Prime Minister’s threatscould be tamed if the government moves to investigate some of his properties.  

“A threat by Raila Odinga is easy to handle. The DCI Kenya and EACC Kenya should open investigations on KEMSA, Kisumu Molasses Plant, Royal Swiss Hotels, Rubis Gas, Kazi Kwa Vijana, Yala River Land, Milimani Public Land, Lamu Public Land, etc,” Miguna said.

Raila Odinga earlier threatened to lead countrywide mass action if the Kenya Kwanza government fails to restore food subsidies and lower taxes within 14 days.

“We have been talking about the rising cost of basic commodities like unga, electricity, diesel, petrol sugar, milk among others for far too long. We have complained about raising taxes and we have lately talked about children dropping out of school for lack of fees. Withdrawal of subsidies on food and education in a middle of a drought and famine was a reckless move. Subsidies must be restored, and the price of basic commodities and taxes must come down in the next 14 days," Raila announced. 

The former Prime Minister also demanded that IEBC servers be opened and audited by reputable firms.

“Serves must be opened and audited under offices of reputable firms or organizations failure to which we shall lead the people to restore their authority and voice,” he added.
