Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition’s Leader Raila Odinga on Monday 10th July surprised Kenyans as walk to board a Matatu to Nairobi’s Central Business District
Raila, who walked from his Karen home to a nearby public service vehicle stage, shocked pedestrians as well as commuters
At the stage, he stood for a while listening views from commuters who were at waybar waiting for the Matatu to drive them to Nairobi
He listened carefully before matatu came, kenyans got an opportunity to interact with the head of opposition party as well airing their grievances ans frustrations to the current regime
Commuters could be heard saying that the cost of living has demotivated them and others asking how will they survive with their children at this economy
