Mombasa County ODM leaders have threatened to go back to the streets and lead the anti-government protests if the planned bi-partisan talks between the opposition and Kenya Kwanza fail.
Speaking in Bomu Stadium, Changamwe, the leaders said they are keenly watching how the talks will go and the willingness by the Kenya Kwanza government to address they (Azimio) have raised.
Mombasa Women Representative Zamzam Mohammed called on Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party leader Raila Odinga to remain steadfast arguing that Kenyans are depending on him to help them against the current high cost of living facing the country.
"Kenyans are suffering, Kenyans are complaining everywhere because of the high cost of living, Raila Odinga is our only saviour, he has fought so hard before and we believe this time he will also do the same for Kenyans" she said.
Adding" If the Kenya Kwanza side will not be serious with the talks and it fails, we are ready to go back to the streets and demonstrate."
Zamzam called on Deputy President to Rigathi Gachagua to stay away from the planned talks saying he is likely to contribute to the failure of the talks.
"To Gachagua, Kenyans only voted Ruto and Raila and not you so just stay away from this talks. We don't want you to intefere with the talks, let the two gentlemen decide" argued Zamzam
On her part Likoni Mp Mishi Mboko said the Azimio side will stick to it's initial agenda of the high cost of living.
"No one should decide for the other side, let everyone come to the table with their agenda. As Azimio, our irreducible minimum is the high cost of living" said Mboko.
The Azimio side is led by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka while the Kenya Kwanza side by the National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah.
Speaking at the same event, Chanagmwe Mp Omar Mwinyi cautioned Kenya Kwanza leaders against what he termed as 'reckless' words saying they are likely to affect the talks.

On Saturday, Azimio leader Raila Odinga stated that he will direct his supporters to take to the streets next month in protest if the talks fail.
"Nimesema sisi kama wana-Azimio, tuko tayari kuongea, tutaongea na tunapatia wale jamaa siku thelathini kuongea. Baada ya siku thelathini kama jamaa bado amekaa ngumu ntatoa amri ingine. Lakini tumepea tume ambayo inaongezwa na Kalonzo Musyoka nafasi ya kuongea na wale kutoka ile ng'ambo ingine," he said.
Adding ""Tunanongea bila masharti; wao vile vile wasitoe masharti kwetu. Lakini wasipokuwa tayari kuongea na kukubaliana na sisi vile tunataka tunasema baada ya siku 30 Wakenya watachukua hatua tofauti."
