Azimio leader Raila Odinga has reiterated his stance that President William Ruto has to leave State House.
Speaking during the Kibra rally on Sunday, Raila listed reasons as to why Ruto is not fit to be the President of Kenya.
"Our stand remains that Ruto did not win the elections. He got into State House by hijacking and subverting the will of the people. He must get out," he said.
The ODM leader further accused Ruto of governing the country with contempt saying the Kenya Kwanza regime is unfit to lead Kenyans as it does not respect the rule of law.
"We have a situation where when a poor man steals, he goes to jail but when a rich man or woman steals or had stolen, becomes a minister or a CEO," he said.
In reference to the Kenya Kwanza manifesto on 'mama mboga' government, Raila said Ruto has instead established the opposite.
"Ruto promised a poor man's government, only to unveil a government of billionaires that has no room for the poor," he said.
Raila went on to fault the government for abandoning its promises of lessening the high cost of living, saying Kenyans had been rewarded with the most "I don't care" administration.
The Azimio leader pointed out that Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza allies had failed to provide Kenyans with a solution to deal with inflation.
"Ruto found our people with a little in their pockets. Now that little is being taken away," Raila said in reference to tax increment.
Raila further said the President had identified the problems faced by hustlers, only to add onto them.
"Instead of lifting people out of poverty, Ruto is pushing more into poverty," he said.
Raila urged Kenyans to remember their right and duty to reject the Ruto administration, reiterating that he cared little about them.
He added that the Azimio was committed to serving Kenyans.
"We will. That is the Azimio declaration. That we will put into place a government that cares for the interests of the people," the ODM leader said.
