City lawyer Ahmednassir has said that the anti-government protests being propelled by opposition leader Raila Odinga are not good for the country.

“In the process, these perennial revolts have become Raila’s default mode, thus his assault on the state every time he loses the election,” he added.

“We defeated Ruto with over 2 million votes and even if we were to go back to the polls, we shall defeat him again,” Raila said.
