Azimio la Umoja coalition leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday, March 21, declared nationwide protests every Monday and Thursday beginning Monday, March 27.
In a press briefing, Raila noted that the demonstrations would continue until their demands were met.
"In response to public demand, we shall now hold protests every Thursday and Monday beginning next week," he announced.
In addition, he castigated the force shown by police officers on the Monday, March 20, protests whereby the Azimio principals and his supporters were curtailed from marching to State House, Nairobi.
According to the former Prime Minister, he ordered his supporters to boycott several brands including a media house, a bank and a telco.
He criticised President William Ruto for what he termed a dictatorial style of leadership for the six months he has been in office.
"Ruto’s greatest aspiration is to return Kenya to the old dictatorship where he is the unquestioned tyrant controlling everyone’s life. We have come to the conclusion that our police shall never change unless we make them change," he noted.
"We reiterate to our supporters and all patriotic Kenyans that this struggle is just starting. We are not looking and we will not be intimidated. No retreat, no surrender," he added.
The former premier also faulted Nairobi police boss Adamson Bungei over the orders issued to police officers against his supporters on the Monday, March 20, protests.
"That brutality witnessed yesterday does not belong to this country. It is more disgusting because the citizens were acting within the provisions of the Constitution. We had given notice of the intention to march in Nairobi," he pointed out.
The ODM leader also claimed that there were assassination attempts on his and Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka's lives during the protests.
"There was an attempt on the lives of both Kalonzo and me, our cars were shot at but luckily we were unharmed. We are shocked that police would assemble so much personnel and equipment to confront peaceful protesters," he reiterated.
The former prime minister accused Ruto of firing civil servants in the Public Service who were associated with the previous regime. Raila called for the government to equally serve Kenyans irrespective of their political affiliation.
"Brutal Ruto must stop the ethnicization and commercialization of the Public Service. We will fight for as long as it takes to save this country from being ruled by cartels, elites and ethnic warlords
