In preparation for the upcoming three-day protests, Raila Odinga, the leader of Azimio, has called for a crucial meeting with all opposition Members of Parliament on Monday. The meeting, set to take place at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation (JOOF), aims to strategize and coordinate the anti-government demonstrations that will be carried out across the country.

The opposition has intensified its resistance against President William Ruto's government and has scheduled street protests for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Raila Odinga, alongside other prominent Azimio principals such as Kalonzo Musyoka and Martha Karua, will be in attendance to discuss key plans and objectives.

Makadara MP George Aladwa confirmed the meeting, stating, "We shall update the country after the meeting." The gathering will provide leaders with an update on the ongoing signature collection exercise, which aims to undermine Ruto's popularity.

Additionally, the session will address allegations of funding by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta. There have been claims that the opposition received approximately Sh40 million from the former president to support last week's protests, which ignited unrest in various parts of the country.

The meeting will also focus on organizing the participation of elected leaders in the protests within their respective constituencies. Each leader will be assigned specific responsibilities and roles to ensure effective and coordinated demonstrations.

These developments occur amidst President Ruto's strong opposition to the protests, as he vows to confront the demonstrators directly this week. The Kenya Kwanza government has reportedly instructed its MPs to organize counter-protests in their constituencies.

President Ruto has accused Raila Odinga of attempting to gain a share of the government through the controversial handshake. He asserts that Raila intends to use extra-constitutional means, including violence, to seize power. Ruto firmly declares, "You can't use extra-constitutional means to get power. You want to use violence to get into government; it won't happen."

As tensions rise between the opposition and the government, the outcome of the planned protests and subsequent actions remains uncertain. The meeting between Raila Odinga and Azimio MPs aims to solidify their strategy and strengthen their resistance against President Ruto's administration.
