Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has questioned Azimio leader Raila Odinga's request to Kenyans to boycott payment of taxes and use alternative means of transport to get to work.
Raila said due to the high cost of living, Kenyans should walk to, and from work in order to deny President William Ruto fuel tax.
Ahmednasir questioned what could have happened to Raila to ask Kenyans to walk instead of at least using public service vehicles.
"Eh...what really happened to Hon Raila? That "walk instead of using buses and Matatus". Junet Mohamed nini mbaya na Baba (Raila)? He asked. (What is wrong with Baba).
Raila spoke on Tuesday at the Kamukunji rally where he said the sum effect of this move is to limit the consumption of petrol and diesel by public service vehicles.
“One way, to do this is to carpool. Let us arrange to make regular journeys in a single vehicle whenever possible. Give each other a ride. Cut down on non-essential travel. Walk instead of driving whenever possible,” Raila said.
"I appeal to all the employers to allow their workers time to walk to and from work,” he added.
The opposition leader also appealed to Matatu operators to carry excess passengers to limit the number of vehicles used thereby limiting fuel consumption.
This is despite it being against traffic rules for public service vehicles to carry excess passengers.
“I appeal to the Matatu owners to support tax boycotts. While observing safety measures, they attend the current fares by doubling the carrying capacity as part of the civil disobedience,” Raila said.
He said traffic police officers should support the tax boycott venture by allowing matatus to carry above capacity.
The Azimio leader said they were going to teach Ruto a lesson never to mess with food and fuel.
He said that Ruto will know that Kenyans are fed up but not helpless.
