The Raila Odinga-led Orange Democratic Movement party has urged Kenyans to stay strong, amidst the harsh economic times.
In a statement on Friday, the party reminded Kenyans that choices have consequences.
This was in reference to the August 2022 presidential election, where President William Ruto emerged victorious against their party leader Raila.
ODM said this is the time for Kenyans to feel the heat of their choices, but they should not give up because all this shall pass.
"Good morning fellow Kenyans. Someone once said choices have consequences. The time to feel the heat is now. The heat is coming fast and furious. We shall one day overcome it. Let’s keep our heads up, our feelers on the ground and our hearts stronger," ODM said.
This comes even as the opposition party through their Azimio la Umoja Coalition continue to accuse Ruto of failing on his promise to the hustlers.
The opposition insists that the President promised to lower the tax burden on Kenyans. Still, all decisions made since he took over from the former regime are increasing taxes for already straining Kenyans.
Raila has gone further to ask Kenyans to deny the government taxes.
On Tuesday, he called upon Kenyans to embrace civil disobedience to deny the Kenya Kwanza regime taxes after the Finance Bill 2023, was signed into law.
"There is no other option left. We must fight. We are going to fight until the Finance Act is repealed. We will adopt a series of acts of civil disobedience to force this regime to recognise that we, the people are supreme," Raila said.
