Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka on the night of Friday, July 21, addressed reports of his house arrest and detention.
In an interview with TV 47, Kalonzo assured Kenyans that he is fine together with his family.
“Of course, it is not right psychologically to feel you cannot leave your house. It is a combination of force and house imprisonment,” he said.
Further, the former Vice President said police had not served him with the charges for the arrest adding that the government would not dare because he had committed no crime.
At the same time, the Azimio co-principal maintained that the ongoing protests are for all Kenyans and not only the opposition.
Additionally, he thanked the Catholic Bishops for mounting pressure on President William Ruto to repeal the controversial Finance Act 2023, after the Court suspended its implementation.
“These are not Azimio or opposition rallies. These are Kenyans who are feeling the high cost of living. They cannot afford food for their families. So, it is the whole nation,” he said.
