Kenya Kwanza is taking us back to single-party era of Mtukufu Rais, says Raila

In a statement on Sunday detailing the resolutions made during a public baraza in Kisumu, Raila claimed that the fears being spread by government is clamping down on the gains they have made in the "rights and freedoms they fought for".

He claimed that the ruling government is trivialising the motive of having elections and that they are making other parties seem insignificant.

"Elections are beginning to count for nothing. The suffering of the people now count for nothing. Parties other than the one in power are being made to count for nothing Kenya Kwanza is taking us back to single-party era of Mtukufu Rais," said Raila.

The former premier further noted he fears that their struggle for freedom will become obsolete and that they will be resilient in opposing the realisation of Kenya Kwanza's alleged intentions.

Raila, therefore, noted that they will be tough on "freeing the country from electoral theft and the course of elections whose results are predetermined."

"We are here to ring-fence multiparty and ensure it is irreversible. We are here to end fear of illegitimate authority," he added.

"We are here to ensure that Kenya is governed by men who understand and subscribe to ideals of integrity and who are aware of the great trust and the responsibility required to run a nation."

In a bid to keep the government in check, the Azimio boss also affirmed that they will ensure that efforts to mitigate the economic crisis burdening Kenyans will be fully implemented.

"We are here to ensure that government works and cares for people. To ensure that when people say that the cost of unga, electricity, and school fees are too high, the government will listen."

Raila noted the motive behind their action plan is for posterity.
