The coalition also appealed to Kenyans to keep peace during the nationwide prayers which will continue through the weekend.

“We therefore appeal to Kenyans to keep peace during these prayers. We also encourage Kenyans to continue lighting candles and laying flowers in respect and love for our slain and injured patriots,” Azimio added.

“This exercise continues through the weekend. The death and the injuries must be our reason to fight harder for taxes and prices to come down.”

The opposition coalition on Wednesday held vigils across the country to honour their supporters who were killed during the protests. Azimio leaders converged at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation.
