Speaking in Nandi-Hills, Sang regretted that Six months after the inauguration of President William Ruto's administration, the country was being taken back on a circus instead of development.

“If someone demands the opening of the IEBC servers, the laws guarding it are not within the powers of the president. Raila Odinga knows where to go instead of leading people to destroy the livelihoods of poor citizens,” Governor Sang said.

Kenyans, Sang added are aware of what Odinga was eyeing and merely using picketing to further his personal interests.

He welcomed the decision that the issues the opposition leader wanted to be addressed be done within the constitution.

“However, I doubt if Odinga and his Azimio team are serious about them because they know that President Ruto won in a free and fair manner and he’s the legitimate president and head of state of Kenya,” Sang asserted.

He charged that demonstrations had messed up with the livelihoods of many Kenyans adding that Nairobi and Kisumu cities paid the price of the lawlessness.

“Several local and international conferences were cancelled, and the hospitality industries suffered heavily as guests checked out before demonstrations, I mean surely, how many people suffer,” Sang said.

He appealed to Raila to be a statesman and abandon threats and blackmail and let Kenyans peacefully fend for themselves uninterrupted.
