Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Former Mukurweini MP Kabando wa Kabando has touted the planned July 7 rally by the Azimio coalition as one that will mark a defining moment in the country’s politics.<\/p>\n

Kabando said unlike the previous Saba Saba rallies, this particular one will not be about Azimio leader Raila Odinga but about Kenyans. This, the former legislature said, is because of the anger fueled by a feeling of betrayal and frustration amongst Kenyans due to high taxation.<\/p>\n

“#SABASABA 7\/7 of 2023 will be a turning point. Unlike previous #maandamano, this round, it won’t be about Raila. Allover citizens are angry, disgruntled, betrayed, frustrated and ready to rise up against Ruto’s taxation,” he tweeted on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“If Ruto is not careful, things are fast heading south.”<\/p>\n

DAP-K party leader Eugene Wamalwa said during the Friday, July 7 rally at the Kamukunji grounds, they will unveil a nationwide civil disobedience programme.<\/p>\n

The disobedience is aimed at forcing President William Ruto to repeal the Finance Act, which he signed on Monday. The Act, whose implementation will result in the increase of fuel prices and VATs, will see Kenyans dig deep into their pockets from July 1.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Raila said it was time Ruto learnt that the power of the people is sovereign. “Ruto will learn the hard way that Kenyans are fed up but not helpless. Ruto has messed with people’s food, fuel, and freedom,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We cannot be a nation of people who, having eyes, refuse to see, and, having ears, refuse to hear. We have suffered a cruel betrayal of our trust and confidence in the ability of our representatives to protect us. We must punish the traitors.”<\/p>\n

Saba Saba was born on July 7, 1990 during the clamour for the second liberation. It was a day of infamy dominated by bloody clashes as then President Daniel arap Moi, now deceased, unleashed police on defenseless demonstrators, killing and maiming many of them for daring to call for a return to multipartyism.<\/p>\n

The opposition has since then used the day to hold rallies to push the government of the day to reach a compromise over a myriad of issues they find unfavourable to Kenyans.<\/p>\n
