Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka almost lost his life during the 2023 demonstrations against the rising cost of living, ODM's Director of Communications, Philip Etale, has revealed.

In a chilling recollection of the 2023 anti-government demonstrations, Etale has narrated how an incident during the demonstrations could have wiped out several people in the then-opposition, including Kalonzo.

In a first-hand account by the Raila ally, what was a protest by leaders and Kenyans voicing their frustrations on the rising cost of living could have ended in tragedy if former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's orders had been fully implemented.

At the time, protests headed through Riverside, Pangani, and Juja Road, with thousands of Kenyans joining to voice their grievances.
