The former Mathira MP also assured Kenyans that the country was stable and that his boss, President William Ruto was in control of the situation.

“I want to assure the people of Kenya that the country is stable. President William Ruto is in charge and we are happy that most Kenyans trusted the government to protect life and property and have gone to work and ignored the illegal holiday declaration,” he said.

Raila wants the cost of living lowered, IEBC servers opened and the recruitment of IEBC commissioners halted.
