The opposition party Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition has declared that it will reveal its future plans regarding what they now refer to as the “anti-tax protests” to its supporters on Sunday.
The announcement was made on Friday at the Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka (SKM) Command Centre during a prayer service held to mourn the victims of police shootings. Azimio strongly criticized President William Ruto’s government for its failure to acknowledge and address the issue of alleged extrajudicial killings of protesters during the demonstrations.
“I want to announce on our behalf that on Sunday, July 30th, we shall communicate to the nation our next course of action with regard to anti-tax protests,” stated Wiper leader Kalonzo in a joint statement.

Wiper leader Kalonzo stated in a joint statement that they will communicate their next course of action to the nation on Sunday, July 30th. Additionally, the opposition faction has decided to establish a fund to support the families of those affected by police brutality during the now-suspended anti-government protests.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta made a public appearance at the function, joining Azimio leaders in remembering the more than 30 victims of police shootings during the recent protests.
Both Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta donated Ksh.1 million each to the fund for the victims’ families, while Kalonzo contributed Ksh.500,000, Eugene Wamalawa contributed Ksh.200,000, and Azimio MPs jointly contributed Ksh.1.5 million. In total, the opposition team raised Ksh.4.2 million for the cause.
Governors in Machakos, Kisii, Homa Bay, Siaya, and Migori counties all waived hospital bills for those nursing gunshot wounds and admitted to various health facilities in their respective devolved units.
