The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders in Mombasa have welcomed Azimio leader Raila Odinga's call for mass protest over the high cost of living.
Speaking on Friday, the leaders vowed to lead a peaceful protest ahead of Raila's tour in Mombasa slated for Sunday.
The ODM leaders said that the government has not achieved the promises they made to Kenyans during campaign period.
The move to protest is after Raila declared the start of mass action against the Kenya Kwanza regime which he termed illegitimate.
On Friday, Raila lead the Azimio coalition rally in Migori and he is eexpected to tour Narok county on Saturday.
The opposition demos are slowly picking up as a number of counties took to the streets to protest the high cost of living.
Raila said they have invoked the provisions of the Constitution to launch a massive peaceful movement of defiance against an illegal government.
"Take note that on the 20th of March 2023, we have a date with destiny in Nairobi. On that day our supporters throughout the country shall stage a massive procession in Nairobi for a legitimate and inclusive government. Save the date," Raila said.
"We begin telling Ruto and [DP Rigathi] Gachagua that we can’t keep living on false promises. We begin telling Ruto and Gachagua our clear understanding that when we keep taking painkillers long enough, they will cease killing the pain; and that is when the real pain will begin," he added.
Raila has held public barazas at Jamuhuri grounds, Jacaranda grounds and Kibra in Nairobi, Kisii, Kakamega, Kisumu and Kitale.
