Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked Azimio leaders, led by Raila Odinga, to settle for a Parliamentary Bi-partisan process or street protests, because they cannot have both.
Speaking during celebrations of 25 years in music of Muigai wa Njoroge in Thika, Kiambu County, Gachagua told the Azimio leadership that they cannot have their cake and eat it.
"Our MPs can only engage their counterparts from Azimio for the Bipartisan Parliamentary discussions when there are no demonstrations," he said.
"It is either a Parliamentary process or demonstrations. You cannot have the two."
Azimio leadership has demanded the recomposition of the Kenya Kwanza MPs who will engage their counterparts in the proposed bi-partisan talks on a number of issues including reducing the cost of living and reconstituting of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, among other issues.
Odinga has also said that protests will resume alongside bi-partisan talks, which were proposed by President William Ruto, to address the concerns of the Opposition.
The Deputy President said the Government will not cow to threats from Azimio and the criminals who will destroy property in violence.
"You are free to go for demonstrations on Tuesday and make as much noise as you wish. But there should be no destruction of property of other Kenyans," Gachagua said.
He said the police are ready to deal with criminals, who will seek to disrupt businesses in Nairobi and other parts of the country.
