Jubilee secretary general Jeremiah Kioni has said that Azimio la Umoja has served police notice for Monday and Thursday protests, next week.

While addressing the press on Wednesday, Kioni said that Kenyans have a right to demonstrate and that police should provide security.

"We have served the letter for our demonstrations on Monday and Thursday. We are not doing this because we require a permit from police officers to hold demonstrations in this country. It is a right given to every Kenyan under the constitution," he said.

Kioni said that Kenyans are allowed to demonstrate even after failing to serve the notice.

This is after Azimio leader Raila Odinga announced the coalition will carry out mass protests twice a week.

Addressing the press on Tuesday, Raila declared that they will be taking to the streets every Monday and Thursday weekly.

The demos will commence next week.

"On the second phase we will begin protests on Monday and Thursday starting next week," he said.

Speaking in Kamukunji, he said the mass action will not end until Kenyans get what is rightfully theirs.

"Tumeanza vita. Kila jumatatu kutakuwa na mgomo. Kutakuwa na maandamano. Vita imeanza haitaisha mpaka wakenya wapate haki yao," Raila said.
