Raila Odinga Spotted Taking A Matatu To Work

Seated among the passengers, Odinga engaged in conversations with other commuters.

“Embracing the convenience and camaraderie of public transport heading to work this morning,” Odinga shared on his social media account Monday.

The opposition leader has been urging Kenyans to boycott fuel in protest of the soaring prices following the increase in VAT tax from 8% to 16%.

He rallied Kenyans to engage in peaceful protests and adopt various measures to resist the government’s revenue collection efforts.

Odinga said Kenyans should embrace alternative modes of transportation such as walking to work, carpooling, and reducing non-essential travel.

By doing so, the opposition leader stated citizens can decrease their reliance on fuel and limit the government’s ability to collect additional tax revenue.

Raila has also been encouraging the expression of dissatisfaction with the government.

On June 27 Odinga asked Kenyans to come with different strategies such as carpooling and walking to work in protest in a bid to boycott from government’s ‘punitive’ tax measures which saw increased fuel prices.

“Let us deny Ruto the fuel tax by limiting consumption of petrol and diesel. One way to do this is to carpool,” Odinga said on June 27.
