Azimio leader Raila Odinga on Monday excited commuters when he boarded a Public Service Vehicle (PSV).
With music blaring, Odinga couldn’t hide his delight as he settled into his seat on the matatu that plies the Ngong-Nairobi route, patiently waiting for other passengers to join him on the journey.
“Embracing the convenience and camaraderie of public transport heading to work this morning,” Odinga shared on his social media account Monday.
passengers seized the opportunity to snap a selfie with the Opposition Chief, who attentively listened to their concerns.
Some voiced their frustrations over the escalating cost of food and the high price of fuel.
“Baba Tunaumia, hii matatu tulikua tunalipa Mia Moja leo tunalipa 150( Baba(Raila) we are struggling, we used to pay Sh100 for fare now we have to part with Sh 150,” a passenger said as he jokingly pleaded with the Opposition Chief to cover his fare expenses.
Others complained of high electricity charges and water charges and pleaded with Odinga to intervene on their behalf.
When asked by a passenger about his experience in the matatu, Odinga said he was “enjoying the ride.”
Upon arriving at Nairobi CBD, Raila and his entourage made their way to the Tom Mboya statue. There, the Azimio boss had his shoes shined, accompanied by other Azimio leaders, including former Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya.
Afterward, Raila proceeded to a restaurant to enjoy a meal before addressing a massive crowd of his supporters along City Hall Way.
