The meeting comes ahead of Azimio la Umoja countrywide demonstrations slated for tomorrow March 8, 2023.

Raila on February 22 gave the President William Ruto-led administration a 14-day notice over the cost of living.

While castigating the government for being heartless by removing the subsidies sanctioned on essential commodities by former president Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila asked Ruto to act and lower the cost of living in 14 days. Failure to do that, he said he would mobilize his supporters for a march to State House, Nairobi.

“If these demands are not met within 14 days, we shall lead Kenyans to mass action across the country to restore sanity,” Raila threatened.
