"The right to demonstrate and picket, freedom of assembly and expression and movement will be jealously guarded," Junet. 

Suna East Member of Parliament Junet Mohammed wants the government to stop barricading roads following Azimio's call to mass action. 

In a statement on Friday, March 10, Junet said that the would not allow President William Ruto to turn the country into what they termed a 'failed state'. 

The Legislator added that they would reject any move by Ruto that would curtail the free movement of Kenyans. 

"Ruto must desist from barricading roads/highways across our country, especially roads he never built. All road barricades politically erected must be removed. We in the Movement for the Defence of Democracy (MDD) do not expect him to achieve anything, but we won't accept his attempt to turn Kenya into a failed state.

"The political rights of Kenyans will not be sacrificed at the alter of an illegitimate regime hiding behind the security apparatus of our country to cling to power. Kenya was free before Ruto. It must remain so. We reject Ruto's attempt to curtail free movement of Kenyans," Junet stated.

He added," The right to demonstrate and picket, freedom of assembly and expression and movement will be jealously guarded. No amount of intimidation, threats, fearmongering, and securitization of the state will make #MDD abandon these constitutional safeguards against dictatorship."
