Trade CS Moses Kuria has dared the Azimio la Umoja coalition to demonstrate against the Finance Bill 2023. 

Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has dared the Azimio la Umoja coalition to hold nationwide protests against the Finance Bill 2023.

Speaking on Thursday, June 22, CS Kuria said the Azimio coalition has no monopoly on staging demonstrations.

He noted that the Kenya Kwanza government can also hold protests to support the Bill.

“Demonstrations are not a monopoly of someone. They can demonstrate against the Finance Bill, we are going to demonstrate for, do they own the streets? We can also go to those streets we will meet there," he said.

Kuria’s remarks come after Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua announced that the Azimio coalition will hold a public engagement meeting on Tuesday, June 27, 2023, at the Kamukunji grounds in Nairobi.

“We have decided to invite Kenyans to a consultation at the Kamukunji grounds on Tuesday, June 27 at 10 am. Where the next course of action will be decided.

“Whenever as a people we have come together we have always found a solution even to our worst problems, this time will be no different. We believe that in the end, it is the people’s voices that will prevail,” Karua stated.
