Azimio la Umoja coalition led by Raila Odinga has today, Tuesday 11, launched a digital signature platform dubbed Tumechoka Citizens’ Initiative, aiming to collect over 15 million signatures from Kenyans in a bid to remove President William Ruto and his Deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, from office.

Speaking during its launch at the SKM Command Centre in Nairobi, the former premier said the Tumechoka drive will be run alongside the manual collection of signatures as they seek to compel the Kenya Kwanza administration to look onto the matters and problems facing the citizens like high cost of living, Finance Act dilemma as well as Constitution breach by compromising legislators and political parties amid allegations of bribery to pass the Finance Bill 2023.

“The digital platform we have unveiled today is complementary to all other efforts and platforms, including civil disobedience, tax boycotts, and defiance that are meant to compel the regime to repeal the Finance Act 2023 and take deliberate steps to lower the cost of living,” Raila said.
