Azimio la Umoja coalition leader Raila Odinga unveiled his 3-point agenda ahead of the town hall meeting with his supporters on Thursday, April 13.
In a statement on Wednesday, April 12, the opposition leader noted that the agenda involved charting a path for the country's salvation, engaging all stakeholders on issues affecting Kenyans and rejecting a Parliament, which he claimed was under control by President William Ruto.
He affirmed that the meeting would be held at Ufungamano Hall, Nairobi, beginning at 9:00 am.
"(We seek to) engage all Kenyans in making our nation great veterans, human rights activists, intellectuals, faith-based organisations, trade unions, farmers' associations, small businesses and other civil society organisations," Raila added.
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader noted that the meeting would unite Kenyans, seek solutions to national problems, develop a roadmap for national transformation and develop a brighter future for the next generation.
Raila pointed out that the return of the town hall meetings came ahead of the bipartisan talks with the government. A people's Baraza at the Kamukunji grounds on Sunday, April 16, was also part of the coalition's plan to heap pressure on Ruto.
According to the Azimio leader, the purpose of the baraza is to explain to the people their upcoming course of action following the suspension of the protests.
Azimio called off protests on April 2 to allow the opposition to engage with the Kenya Kwanza administration on pertinent issues, including the reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the high cost of living.
Despite opting to resume public engagements, Azimio warned they would resume the mass protests if the government did not commit to the bipartisan talks.
"Azimio remains committed to the spirit of the Easter deal that saw the two parties commit to dialogue and call on Kenya Kwanza to come to the table with clean hands, unclenched fists and a commitment to an honest and transparent process that engages on all the issues bedeviling our country," Raila cautioned.
