"He can't be throwing stones for 45 yrs and inhaling teargas year after year."

City Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has asked the ODM leader Raila Odinga to change his political tact even as age is taking a toll on him.

In a tweet on Friday, July 7 the Lawyer said Raila has over the years used the same tricks while in opposition insinuating that it is time he changes.

According to the Lawyer, it is time for Raila to deploy another strategy that will mirror his age considering that he has been in the political streets for decades.

"Hon Raila, even at 78 years, needs to grow up. He can't be throwing stones for 45 yrs, inhaling teargas year after year, clashing with policemen who are the grandchildren of officers he had run-ins in the 1980s and continuing following the same failed/discredited political script/manual," Abdullahi said.

The comments come hours before the Saba Saba protests scheduled by Raila this Friday to protest against the Ruto regime.  

Opposition MPs led by Nairobi county ODM chairman George Aladwa on Thursday said all is set for the Friday Saba Saba rally.  

They said the opposition brigade will march to the city centre in fresh anti-government protests. 

Aladwa addressed a joint press conference alongside MPs Babu Owino (Embakasi East), Antony Oluoch (Mathare), Peter Orero (Kibra) and a host of city MCAs.

“We will meet in clusters here in Nairobi and after our respective rallies we will demonstrate peacefully towards the town centre, we have a good programme and we ask all Kenyans to converge here from 9 am,” Aladwa announced.

Raila and other Azimio principals are expected to join them in their push against Ruto.
