In a historic speech on Tuesday, Kenyan Opposition Leader Raila Odinga declared that “the resistance starts today” as he demanded the resignation of the Kenya Kwanza government. The call to action came after months of political unrest in the country. For weeks, citizens have been protesting against the government's policies and its handling of economic issues such as unemployment and poverty. Many have also expressed their frustration with President Kenyatta's leadership, accusing him of corruption and mismanagement. Odinga addressed a crowd of thousands at Uhuru Park in Nairobi, saying that it was time for change in Kenya. He called on citizens to take a stand against the government and demand their rights be respected. "We must come together and fight for our freedom," he said. "We cannot allow this government to continue ruling us without accountability." The opposition leader went on to criticize the government for its failure to address key issues such as healthcare, education, infrastructure development, and security. He argued that these problems had only worsened under Kenyatta's rule and urged citizens to unite in demanding his resignation from office. "This is not just about me or my party," Odinga said. "It is about all Kenyans who are suffering under this oppressive regime." He concluded his speech by declaring that “the resistance starts today” – a statement which has since become an iconic rallying cry among protesters across the country. Odinga's call for change has been met with both praise and criticism from different sectors of society. While some view it as an opportunity for much-needed reform in Kenya, others worry that it could lead to further instability in an already fragile political climate. It remains unclear how long it will take before any tangible changes are made – but one thing is certain: The future of Kenya hangs in the balance as Odinga continues his fight against injustice and inequality within the nation's borders.
