Azimio Must Be Called Out for Denting Kenya's Image CapitalFMKenya: Kenya
Azimio leader former premier Raila Odinga has announced a series of rallies in dissent against the Kenya Kwanza government. These are accompanied by far-off accusations against the IEBC, the Supreme Court, President Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration of having"stolen" his victory in the August 2022 polls.
Azimio is making all these claims after voters exercised the highest degree of patience and restraint awaiting the due processes by both IEBC and Supreme Court. Azimio coalition fully participated in these constitutional processes as stipulated in the 2010 constitution and other Presential Elections laws.
The Supreme Court pronounced as"hot air" the evidence presented in courts while confirming Kenya Kwanza's victory. While Article 37 of the Constitution guarantees every person the right, peaceably and unarmed, to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to public authorities, this right is not absolute.
It is therefore a desertion of civic duties by Azimio to disregard all the constitutional and legal processes that birthed the Kenya Kwanza government in a rigorous legal process. It is a national joke that a coalition that fully participated in the most compliant electoral processes is undermining the outcome of the very processes they initiated.
