Roads and Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has urged Azimio leader Raila Odinga to call off the planned three-day anti-government protests.
In a statement on his Twitter page, Murkomen stated that Raila has the power to call off the protests if he so desires.
“It is still my prayer and considered opinion that Hon Raila Odinga should use his influence to call off the planned mass action. He has the ability and responsibility to do so,” the CS said.Â
Murkomen added that there is no reason why the leaders shouldn’t resume the Parliamentary talks.
“Now that Azimio are clear that they don’t want to be part of government in any form or shape whether it is nusu mkate or handshake, then I don’t see the reason why we can’t prosecute the issues raised using our democratic institutions,” he added.
He further said that President William Ruto had offered dialogue as a solution and those in government supported his proposal a hundred percent without exception.
“I urge our Azimio friends to be mindful of the nation and resume the talks,” Murkomen said.
